Geometrically bold with futuristic curves in white steel, the stylish new OCS Stand is truly iconic, elegantly harmonizing with the imposing Victorian appearance of the Pavilion. The dramatic sweeping form of the new roof has been composed to act as a foil to the gasometers which have historically formed the backdrop at this end.
A further feature of the redevelopment is the 600ft 'Living Wall', which will support a variety of climbing plants adding to the summer ambience of the external concourse, bringing the seasons into the urban fabric of the area. The tapering timber louver screen will also help to restrict overlooking from the stand of the adjacent residential accommodation help dissipate the traffic noise from the main end.
