ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES

SITE LOCATION

The site is located in the borough of Newham in London, United Kingdom, forming part of the Royal Docks.

Millennium Mills, also called Silvertown Quays, is an (approx.) 64-acre site in a prime location of London, close to London City Airport and the ExCeL Centre. Located on the site are two landmark historic buildings: Millennium Mills (Locally Listed) and Silo D (Grade II-listed).

MEET THE TEAM

The project required us to collaborate on the initial vision for the site. As a team, we were expected to analyse the area and produce a masterplan that would respond to the challenges of Millennium Mills.

Although each of us focused on developing different sections of the website, we worked together to develop ideas for the holistic regeneration of the site and consulted with each other throughout the process. Following the collaboration, we were required to individually focus on certain aspects of the site. These sections are linked below.
