The Pavillion
Empire Square
Long Lane, Southwark
London, January 2008
“Prominent in the Square is a large supposedly funky building called The Pavillion that has failed to find any use as either offices, a restaurant or as a business rental. It was designed to provide a restaurant but clients looking to rent it found it entirely unsuitable. Described thus ‘dramatically sculptural, free standing building located off centre, whose curved rendered block walls, sweeping roof and low corner tower are reminiscent of Le Corbusier’s Ronchamp chapel, will accommodate a bar and restaurant‘ – CABE, ‘Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment’, Case Study of Empire Sq.” (Empire Square, Southwark Notes)
