Canary Wharf railway station, North Dock
West India Quay, Canary Wharf
London, September 2014
“The oversite development includes plans for 100,000 square feet of retail space and a roof-top park and community facility, semi-covered by an elegant timber lattice roof. The proposed roof will be made of translucent materials, letting the local community see, and encouraging them to visit, the new green space, shops, restaurants and facilities within. The combined station and oversite development has been likened to a ship moored in the dock, reflecting Canary Wharf’s past as the centre for global maritime commerce and its future, better integrated with the local community and the rest of London.” (Canary Wharf Station, Crossrail)

Whoa! I love this! It's grand and powerful and a delight to look at. It is also wonderful to see such a great result coming from community developers/government!
Great architecture design!
