dane’s yard tower

Danes Yard Tower is a hyperboloidal structure constructed of sustainably sourced modular timber elements. At night, an interactive animation of low-energy coloured lights transforms the tower into a key landmark in East London.

The immediate purpose of the tower at the time of its planning consent was to act as a temporary symbol, heralding the regeneration of the Sugar House Island site. Well received by the Borough of Newham and its Planning Department, the investor was asked and agreed to accept a permanent approval for the structure. Now it stands as a familiar element within the complete design of Danes Yard.
