Be rendered to the White Building, from London studio David Kohn Architects. In the heart of the Olympic park, it arises this astonishing building which has been created in a former factory on the edge of the Olympic park.
The White Building is situated on Fish Island in Hackney Wick. It contains a gallery, an events space, a cafe and a series of artists’ studios.
Situated across the Lea Navigation Channel from the Olympic site, the project overlooks the Olympic stadium.
Five new entrances lead into the building, allowing the different rooms to be used in flexible configurations.
The project is held by Design for London which is responsible for “Olympic Fringe” projects for sites bordering the Olympic park. Others include public realm improvements by architects Muf and the London Pleasure Gardens.
‘The White Building’ is a new cultural venue in Hackney Wick commissioned by the London Legacy Development Corporation.
