K1 and K2 are two innovative floating pavillions moored in Canary Wharf’s newest neighbourhood Wood Wharf.
Now home to restaurants and bars, the multi-levelled barges were custom built off-site and floated down the Thames to their forever home to be transformed from bare concrete to timber and light-clad structures. Designed by renowned architects Glenn Howells Architects (GHA) and detailed with steel and glass, open-end balconies, and outward-facing benches overlooking the water, they are linked via a series of boardwalks and fitted with fixed seating areas and aquatic planting.
Using the built-in slope corrector of Buzon’s DPH pedestal range to level the sloping floors of the barges, our sister company, The Outdoor Deck Company were contracted to install Cumaru timber decking on the platforms, gangways and balconies, along with timber benches and day beds supplied by Furnitubes Ltd.
