The clever thing about this is that the steel panels are all the same, the effect is made by rotating them each time – and they have a brushed surface so catch the light in different ways. Finally scotches Pevsner’s putdown that a bicycle shed is not architecture.

I think then cinema opens end of this month and the restaurant beginning of next. The hotel doesnt open until April though. The cinema is the bit im looking forward to most. Apparently the guy that is running the cinema is going to have the cinema as a venue throughout film festival week. When it opens ill never want to leave Bermondsey Street/Square!

In response to Luxury Larry’s message of the 16th, I am advised the Architects for the main scheme were Munkenbeck and Marshall who worked alongside, East, Dive Architects and Sarah Wigglesworth Architects.
I think they’ve all done a good job contributing positively to the regeneration of the Square.

DiscoTech…..this is so cool! I really like the broken facade revealing the structure beneath – Sarah Wigglesworth Architects have broken the ‘bicycle shed’ mould with this design.

Great photo’s too – i particularly like the images at night and dawn illustrating the refelective qualities of the stainless steel panels.

Glittershed!

the photos were taken by an up-and-coming architectural photographer named Mark Hadden.

Very nice building. Anyone know the material on the facade? Anyone know who took the pictures?

I also like the building behind it. Anyone knows the architects who designed it?

Having visited Bermondsey on a number of occassions i am so impressed with the Bermondsey Square Scheme, The developers seem to have gone to a lot of effort to make this area the Gem that Bermondsey needed at the end of the fantastically “cool” Bermondsey Street.
Cycle sheds are normally plain and unimaginative which makes this one so impressive.
I noted in the property section of the Mail on Sunday yesterday that Bermondsey is very much the place to buy a home and given the impressive nature of the development i’d be very tempted buy a home their.
Intrigued by the comment on the Cinema looking forward to some nights out on the Square.
