Silvertown Tunnel

Fereday Pollard developed designs with Atkins and TfL for the Silvertown Tunnel, Portal, Buildings and associated structures.

The overarching design principles are:

• Celebrate functional components through articulation of portals and associated structures and create potentially iconic landmark structures

• Embedding public art into built fabric to be experienced by all

• Integrate landscape to tie the Scheme into it’s surrounding context and provide new surface linkages

• Connect communities that are isolated or severed by the existing road infrastructure through appropriate mitigation

• Sensitive lighting that not only fulfils a functional requirement, but also brings interest and enhances townscape at night specifically in respect of improved pedestrian and cycle lanes

• Use quality materials that would be robust and through innovative application and use can become instantly recognisable

• Acknowledge that this is in an area of change and the Scheme needs to be future proofed to an evolving urban context.
