The selected site was located within the Bromley-by-Bow South Development, next to the urban square. It’s a strategic location where as the project gets to integrate with the local community and the surrounded landscape strategy. By having the Deliveroo rider as the main user group, the project featured a ramp around the perimeter of the building, leading the user to different space with different landing. The cyclist and pedestrian circulation was connected by the open staircase in the middle of the site. It separated both public and private space and at the same time connects the cyclist and the pedestrian.
