Temporary supermarket and gym - East Village

Built

Hufton & Crow

A temporary/relocatable building with a Sainsbury’s supermarket, restaurant & gym providing amenities lacking from the Athletes Village - easing its transition into a vibrant residential neighbourhood

A temporary/relocatable building with a Sainsbury’s supermarket, restaurant and gym providing amenities lacking from the Athletes Village - easing its transition into a vibrant residential neighbourhood now renamed East Village.

While its intention was short-term, the community amenities provided remain at the heart of East Village, with both Sainsbury’s Local and the Better Gym remaining in the ‘temporary’ structure rather than being relocated, as had originally been intended, to the base of the residential plot (N8) across the road.
