London’s new waterfront space incorporates bespoke clay paver mix
Thames Tideway at Chelsea Quay. Infrastructure as Landscape.
The Thames Tideway Tunnel represents one of London’s most ambitious pieces of contemporary infrastructure, yet its presence above ground is defined not by engineering assertiveness but by a carefully choreographed public realm. Through the Thames Riverside Parks programme, Hawkins Brown and landscape architects Gillespies have transformed a series of technically complex tunnel sites into welcoming civic spaces along the river. Chelsea Quay exemplifies this approach, demonstrating how materiality, landscape and architectural intent can elevate infrastructure into meaningful urban landscape.
