One of the few remaining green open spaces along the riverside in London is the Potters Fields Park. Located on the on the southern side of the Thames between Tower Bridge and City Hall, this area just got more greener with the addition of two stunning pavilions designed by socially and environmentally aware architects DSDHA. Standing on either side of the park, along with providing refreshments they offer panoramic views of Thames.
The duo has been designed to complement each other, as well as providing a contrast to the structures that surround it.
The darker of the two is the UK’s first charred timber-clad structure in the UK, created using a technique similar to Japanese Yakisugi.
The second building, a café known as Blossom Square Pavilion, is made of stacks of calcified timber and makes use of a green roof.
What ever is earned as profit from the café will be used to maintain the park.
