Gasholder / No. 8


Restoration: Bell Phillips Architects, 2012-2015. The gasholder was originally constructed in the 1850s and has been dismantled and refurbished in Yorkshire, including removal of 28 layers of paint. Now re-erected, the architects have just received planning consent to create a new public park that will integrate the old Grade II listed structure, given a 35m diameter circular stainless steel canopy in mirror finish. London Borough of Camden.
