Design of Silo D
The design itself is focused on retaining the original architectural character whilst also making it fit into the surround environment. To do this, a roof terrace has been added to Silo D which can be accessed through the middle of Silo D via staircases that will be added. This will be used for things like studying or just to enjoy the views of the rest of the docklands. Cafes will also be added to the bottom of Silo D which will be located next to the finger dock, encouraging people to interact with one another. Connections to the rest of the site are key in creating an easily accessible space, and therefore paths will be revitalized and smoothened out, making it easier for cyclists and pedestrians to make their way through the site and increasing the overall legibility.

A diverse hub for all
Silo D is one of the two main heritage sites that are currently inactive. Removing this iconic building would damage the sites diverse and historic background, therefore Silo D will be retained on site, regenerated to fit into the surrounding area whilst still maintaining its outstanding architectural character. The Silo D quarter will be transformed into a diverse hub, where people can go for coffee, food or even book boat rides from within the finger dock. By doing this, it incorporates the sites heritage whilst acting as an incentive for people to come into and through the site.
