Situated on British Land’s Paddington Central campus in west London, the new Amphitheatre in Sheldon Square has reimagined existing space to create a new, vibrant external space for work teams, families and friends to enjoy, and to provide a focal point for the community.
Working for British Land, Equals provided pre and post contract cost management services on the project with the works being procured on a design and build basis.
The works include new hard landscaping to the top and bottom walkways surrounding the amphitheatre, along with new retail frontage, with the amphitheatre remodelled to provide a more organic seating arrangement including a water feature, performance space, improved accessibility and inclusivity for all. The project has been developed with a focus on sustainability, using Earth Friendly Concrete to significantly reduce embodied carbon.
Equals worked closely with the client design team of Gillespies, Davies Maguire and Feix & Merlin, with the works being delivered by 8build.
