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.

Green Spaces

The green space will bring many benefits to the site such as improving the aesthetic of the area, as well as providing a place for events such as the Newham firework display to take place. The green space also has the potential to attract visitors especially in the summer as it is waterside and has an amazing view of Millennium Mills these aspects will make the site attractive. In return this will help the business that become established in the mixed use units as well as SIlo D and Millennium mill itself. The green space within the residential area of the site will provide the residents with easily accessible outdoor space. The central location of the open space is to improve safety of the space as it is constantly overlooked. Further to this it makes it easily accessible from all parts of the site.
