Project Details

Located in the Isle of Dogs in the heart of London, Canary Wharf is a thriving destination for businesses, retail, and dining. An extension of Canary Wharf’s estate sees the development of Wood Wharf which is providing new facilities, residences, a community as well as an eco-friendly floating pavilion which is now home to steak restaurant connoisseur, Hawksmoor.

Designed using sustainably sourced timbers, the floating pavilion gives diners at Hawksmoor a place to eat and drink outdoors, while creating a distinctive new social space that connects people closely to the water. We were commissioned by Glenn Howells Architects to provide landscaping features to the floating pavilions.

Project Solution

Nine bespoke timber loungers made from our triple-processed steel with sustainable cumara timbers that were designed and placed horizontally to match the pavilion decking, making for a striking contrast.

The pavilion seating is completed by several bespoke high beam benches with underseat lighting. Other features included steel housing to the life buoys and planters with coordinating timber cladding. The pavilion not only creates a welcoming and luxurious space, but also a popular photo backdrop particularly during the summer months.
