Potters Fields Park Pavilions are DSDHA new social structures demand in their architectural research and practice, to explore building form. Working with the dual ambitions of a ‘sense of place’ and built-in flexibility, their pavilion work has been recognised as innovative and sensitive.

Appointed by MoreLondon to design two pavilions – one situated adjacent to City Hall and the other next to Tower Bridge. The Parkside Pavilion, the UK’s first charred timber building, has a distinctive silhouette that offsets the iconic structures that surround it.

Its enormous timber clad cantilevers are the results of DSDHA’s research into contemporary forms of urban architecture and public space. Its sheltered public space for the park and also functioning as the café terrace.

DSDHA established in 1998 by Deborah Saunt and David Hills. With a concerned to promoting architecture for today’s way of life and to negotiate between the diverse of contradictory interests in order to find new solutions.
