Pierre d'Avoine Architects is based in central London with an international portfolio of clients, a reputation for inspiring work, built to high standards, and a strong supporting commitment to research and development across the fields of construction technology, environmental sustainability, and cultural contextualism, which has been widely recognised. The practice, which has operated as a highly-qualified and motivated small team since 1979, has had a high rate of competition success, and its work has been extensively exhibited and published in both the architectural and general press during that period.
Pierre d'Avoine Architects was commissioned to prepare designs for the transformation of the Elephant and Castle roundabouts and transport interchange by the Government Office for London, The Architecture Foundation and the London Borough of Southwark. We developed the concept of an 'urban pier' which allowed safe, unhindered pedestrian movement above the traffic and provided a venue for shopping and festive events. This was combined with a programme for refurbishing the environment of the roundabouts including resurfacing of the ground plane as a 'carpet' to form a new 'room in the city'.
