Ten key projects designed by WilkinsonEyre

Following the death of architect Chris Wilkinson, we have rounded up 10 of his studio's key buildings including its two Stirling Prize-winning projects.

Stratford Market Depot, Stratford, UK (1996)

Created as part of the extension to the Underground's Jubilee Line, this depot in Stratford was the studio's first major new-build project.

Described by the studio as a "supershed", the building's eleven maintenance bays are covered by a 100-metre-wide and 190-metre-long arched roof.

Princes Club pavilion, Middlesex, UK (1997)

Designed by Wilkinson while the studio was still known as Chris Wilkinson Architects, this small pavilion stands at the Princes Club waterskiing centre in Middlesex.

The pavilion was named the best small project of the year by UK magazine the Architects' Journal in 1998.

Dyson Headquarters, Malmesbury, UK (1999)

The studio created a factory and headquarters building topped by an undulating waveform roof for technology company Dyson. It completed in 1999 – the same year the studio rebranded from Chris Wilkinson Architects to WilkinsonEyre.

In 2016 the studio added a mirrored laboratory and sports hangar to the campus on the outskirts of Malmesbury in Wiltshire.

Magna Science Centre, Rotherham, UK (2001)

WilkinsonEyre's transformation of a redundant steelworks in Rotherham into a Science Adventure Centre won the RIBA Stirling Prize – the UK's highest architecture accolade – in 2001.

To create the centre, which focused on telling the story of steel, the studio placed four pavilions connected by steel walkways and bridges within a huge 400-metre-long shed.

Gateshead Millennium Bridge, Gateshead, UK (2001)

In 2002 WilkinsonEyre became the first studio to win the Stirling Prize twice when its Gateshead Millennium Bridge won the award.

The pedestrian and cycle bridge over the River Tyne, which connects the Gateshead arts quarter with Newcastle, tilts to allow vessels to pass.

Guangzhou International Finance Centre, Guangzhou, China (2010)

This 440-metre tower in Guangzhou, China, was the tallest building in the world by a UK architect when it completed.

The tower was awarded the RIBA Lubetkin Prize, which was awarded to the best new building outside Europe by an RIBA member, in 2012.

Gardens by the Bay, Singapore (2012)

The Gardens by the Bay waterside park in central Singapore was named the World Building of the Year at World Architecture Festival in 2012.

It features two huge glasshouses designed by the studio. One contains plants from the Mediterranean region, while the other has tropical plants and a 30-metre-high waterfall.

Mary Rose Museum, Portsmouth, UK (2013)

Built to house the 16th-century Tudor warship the Mary Rose, this elliptical museum is clad in stained-black timber.

Located in the historic dockyard of Portsmouth, England, the building was designed to reference traditional English boat sheds.

Maggie's, Oxford, UK (2014)

Designed to resemble "a treehouse, raised above the landscape", this Maggie's centre for cancer care was built within a wooded area in the Churchill Hospital site in Oxford.

Supported on clusters of columns, the building is formed of three wings that extend into the surrounding landscape.

Gasholders, London, UK (2018)

At London's King's Cross, WilkinsonEyre built a series of luxury apartments within a trio of Victorian gasholders (above and top).

Each of the three wrought-iron frames was dismantled, repaired and re-erected on the site around the cylindrical housing blocks. Wilkinson and his wife purchased an apartment within the complex.

Top Adventure Activities in Yorkshire

The daily grind can leave us all feeling a little tired and worn down, and it’s all too easy to spend the weekend laid out in front of the TV trying to recuperate before the cycle starts all over again.

Perhaps what we really need is a taste of excitement and adventure. These thrilling activities in Yorkshire are undoubtedly worth getting off the sofa for.

Aerial Extreme

Experience an adventure at altitude among the rustic forest canopy of the Camphill Estate in Bedale, where you can swing, jump and laugh your way around 25 exciting tree top elements. Set at varying heights, there’s something to tackle for all levels of ability and it promises to deliver an action-packed experience.

Dales Bike Centre

Us Yorkshire folk know what a beautiful county we have, but with so many picturesque spots it’s hard to know where to go first. Well if there’s one thing the Tour de France showed us, it’s that cycling is great way to take in the wonderful scenery — and at the Dales Bike Centre, you can hire your own set of wheels and head off to explore the sights of Swaldedale and the Yorkshire Dales yourself.

Carlton Lodge Outdoor Centre

Specialising in adventure and discovery, this outdoor centre in the heart of North Yorkshire is a great place to try your hand at something new. Set in 12 acres of stunning grounds, there’s a wealth of activities to have a go at, including abseiling, high ropes courses, zip wires, gorge walking and kayaking, to name but a few.

Log Heights

Test your mettle and head for heights at this exciting ropes course set in the grounds of Ripley Castle in North Yorkshire. Offering a huge range of activities with varying degrees of challenge, there’s something to cater for all abilities making it perfect for the whole family to enjoy.

Lost Earth Adventures

Offering unique activities which aim to take you off the beaten track, the adventures and experience days provided by Lost Earth Adventures are varied, challenging and above all, good fun. Choose from rock climbing, gorge walking, canyoning, caving, abseiling and much more for a truly invigorating day out.

Yorkshire Outdoors

It’s one of the foremost outdoor adventure experience providers in the UK and the ultimate place to head if you’re keen to take on an exhilarating 4×4 off-road adventure. Boasting a course which is set within 50 acres of rugged North Yorkshire countryside, it’s a chance to experience a white-knuckle, high speed drive over a challenging but thrilling course.

Go Ape!

Located within Dalby Forest, this is the UK’s number one tree top adventure course which is perfect for unleashing your wild side. Set 120 feet above the forest floor are an exciting array of rope bridges, Tarzan swings, obstacles, crossings, ladders and zip lines to tackle — perfect for those adventurous thrill seekers.

Sheffield Cable Waterski

Water skiing may be an activity we more readily associate with being abroad, but water sports don’t have to be limited to a holiday activity as there are some great spots in the UK to take to the waves. Sheffield Cable Waterski is the largest cable wake park in the North which is packed full of exciting obstacles for you to have a go at. There’s also a “Total Wipeout” style inflatable course in their aqua park which looks too much fun to pass up.

The Abyss

Located at the award winning Magna Science Adventure Centre in Rotherham, The Abyss is the ultimate activity for all thrill seekers. Set in semi-darkness and accompanied by music, video screens, dry ice and effect lighting, you’ll take a brave leap into the abyss from 150 feet and experience the greatest adrenalin rush after taking the plunge. There’s also zip wire, abseiling and free fall activities on site to keep you entertained as well.

Treetop Nets

Designed for both adults and children, this treetop adventure is completely surrounded by 3m high walls of netting to ensure participants are always safe and have no need for a harness. Safely suspended among the trees 12m off the ground, it’s a beautiful spot for an adventure.
