The Twelvetrees ramp and staircase was the first connecting structures delivered in the creation of the Lea River Park. BE Design were commissioned to provide Architecture and Engineering services.

The Leaway structures of this scheme were conceived as part of a family of new connective park infrastructure that make reference to the industrial and utilitarian aesthetic of the existing bridges, pylons and river-works that populate the Lea Valley, characterised by clean rendered structures.

This project employed a material language that delivers refinement and robustness whilst the metal architectural mesh set within galvanised steel frames and exposed aggregate concrete portray a clear built form whilst connecting to the local context.
