“If you go down to the Thames, you can see all of these brick piers and timber posts that have just eroded, like bits of driftwood. That’s what we wanted to accelerate, so that the building feels bedded in.”
In a recent interview with Nick Jones for Concrete Quarterly’s Winter 2025 issue, Senior Partner Tim Gledstone and Harvey Thorp, founding director of Thorp Precast, unpack the art and process behind TIDE Bankside’s fluid form.
A Net Zero embodied and operational carbon workspace development meeting the highest environmental standards, TIDE Bankside offers 147,500 sq ft of commercial and affordable workspaces, intelligently designed to maximise natural ventilation and reduce energy consumption. Designed and prefabricated to mimic the natural erosion of ‘a thousand tides’, TIDE Bankside features an efficient structural grid that can be repurposed over time.
