The Dock Shed
As part of British lands transformative regeneration of London’s Canada Water, a seven-meter-high lobby and café called Dock Shed has been created to serve tenants, guests and the local community.

The design blends dockside heritage with industrial style through raw, handcrafted details including exposed bolts, patinated finishes and hand buffed tables.

The space is defined by soft drapery, sculptural seating arrangements and curated zones that shift in mood from open and communal in the central area, to intimate and focused on the perimeter.

The material palette is intentionally restrained, featuring natural finishes, timber, and lush planting, contrasted by bold injections of colour and personality through furniture and accessories. The project features Resident’s Pick Up Stick Chair and Offset Coffee Table, adding contemporary character to the space.

Concrete screed flooring adds an industrial edge, complemented by dark timber, deep bronze tones, and woven rattan rugs that introduce warmth and texture.
