Cake Industries were approached by Lendlease to realise a competition winning scheme for a feature pavilion in the busy new commercial office district of Stratford’s International Quarter London.
The galvanised steel cantilever structure, clad in glue-laminated larch timber, is repeated through nine bays, supporting a canopy roof which wraps around one side of the structure.
Powder-coated aluminium shingles cover the exterior in a bright & colourful pattern blending from vivid pink to pastel green, creating a sculptural shelter from every view point. The vibrant colour scheme is continued in the bespoke, galvanised and powder-coated steel work of the fixed furniture inside, with durable hardwood seating and a long communal table.
