HawkinsBrown installs WikiHouse workplaces on former Olympic Broadcast Centre



HawkinsBrown has built 21 modular workspaces on the structure of Here East, the former broadcast centre at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.
Named The Gantry, the workspaces are installed across the exterior of the 240-metre-long Olympic Broadcast Centre, on a steel structure that previously held the air handling units required to operate the broadcast centre during the London 2012 Olympics.

This project is the latest stage of HawkinsBrown's five-year conversion of the huge former building, originally designed by Allies and Morrison, into office and workshop spaces.
Each of the 22 studios, which overlook the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, is house-shaped. They are all decorated in bright colours, with the aim of enlivening the facade of the huge building.
"There's sometimes space for something a bit odd or silly," Nick Gaskell, partner at HawkinsBrown told Dezeen. "We were very focused on humanising what could have been a very brutal and relentless structure."
"We liked the idea that we could make something surprising and out of the ordinary," he added.

Run by shared workspace operator The Trampery, the units are located on the first and second floors of the existing steel frame and connected by two bright orange staircases.
Each of the workspaces was manufactured offsite using a computerised fabrication system called WikiHouse, an open source kit of parts that was developed by Architecture 00.

The studios are constructed...
