Thames Tideway at Chelsea Quay. Infrastructure as Landscape.
The Thames Tideway Tunnel represents one of London’s most ambitious pieces of contemporary infrastructure, yet its presence above ground is defined not by engineering assertiveness but by a carefully choreographed public realm. Through the Thames Riverside Parks programme, Hawkins Brown and landscape architects Gillespies have transformed a series of technically complex tunnel sites into welcoming civic spaces along the river. Chelsea Quay exemplifies this approach, demonstrating how materiality, landscape and architectural intent can elevate infrastructure into meaningful urban landscape.

Symbiosis of architecture and nature: a home as a living landscape
Pascal Bilquin and Guy Speltdooren on the art of spatiality, collaboration, and living in harmony with the environment.
Pascal Bilquin and Guy Speltdooren have known each other for years. They regularly collaborate on projects—Bilquin as an architect, Speltdooren as the managing director of total contractor Bouw-iD. Recently, the duo completed a remarkable family home on the banks of the Leie in Deinze, Belgium.
