Heatherwick Studio unviels glass canapy design for reimagined Olympia


Olympia, London’s most ambitious regeneration project, which is currently under development by Yoo Capital and DFI, has revealed its transformative glass canopy, designed by Heatherwick Studio. Celebrating the original


architectural innovation of the 138-year old exhibition halls, designed by Sir Henry Edward Coe, Heatherwick Studio’s visionary new design aims to enhance the public experience of the revitalised


masterplan, creating 2.5 acres of new, publicly accessible open space, including restaurants, bars and roof garden with views over the capital, created for future visitors and the local community to enjoy. The canopy consists of five


large, curved, structural steel arches, each with a span of 22m. The transparent roof, constructed of 520 rectangular low-iron glass panels, covers nearly 1,000m2


with a pleated glazing motif inspired by the façade of


the Grade II* listed Grand Hall. Paying homage to the barrel vaults, the structure establishes a visual link to Olympia’s storied past while embracing cutting-edge and pioneering design, showcasing sustainable practices that optimises glass panel usage to minimise waste and improve overall material eficiency. Once completed, Olympia is set


to become a global powerhouse for events, entertainment and innovation. heatherwick.com
