The Vauxhall Cross Island site, located adjacent to Vauxhall Station in London, will soon have a new mixed-use development designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. The complex, featuring a hotel, residences, offices, retail and public amenities, seeks to become a new public square for the neighborhood.“The design responds to Lambeth Council’s aspirations for a district centre for Vauxhall by creating a vibrant new public square adjacent to the busy rail, underground and bus interchange. The proposal also accommodates TfL’s existing plans to upgrade the traffic gyratory and bus station to provide greater accessibility and safety for all,” stated Zaha Hadid Architects. “This project will generate approximately 2,000 new jobs in the borough within a mixed-use design that includes a new public square, homes, offices, shops and a hotel — providing vital civic space, amenities, and employment for the growing Vauxhall community.”The complex will be coming up along the highly trafficked route between Vauxhall Station and the TfL’s new bus stations on Bonday. This constant flow of people will allow the square to host a full program of community events, such as markets and performances, noted ArchDaily.For more information, visit: www.zaha-hadid.com/ Read more
