Olympia Canopy
At the heart of Olympia’s transformation sits one of the development’s most technically complex elements: a 22-metre spanning glazed canopy that connects the new public realm while responding sensitively to the site’s Grade II listed heritage.
Pillar Hall Olympia
Originally built in 1885 and formerly known as the Minor Hall, the 30,000 sq ft space is being transformed into a vibrant restaurant, bar, and music and events venue, while carefully retaining its historic architectural features. Working within a listed structure required a sensitive, detail-led approach to ensure that interventions enhanced performance without compromising heritage value.
West Hall Olympia
How do you build a major live music venue on top of an existing exhibition hall? At Olympia’s West Hall, the challenge was not simply to create a new performance space. A double-storey extension had to be integrated above the existing exhibition building, while the building envelope needed to respond to complex structural interfaces, demanding acoustic requirements and stringent environmental performance criteria. We provided both Façade Consultancy and Building Services (MEP) expertise to help address these challenges, supporting the project from Stage 4 through to completion.

Enveloping the unique building, located in Salford, Greater Manchester, is Europe’s largest living wall which bears 350,000 plants of 32 different species, designed to achieve net zero operational Carbon. Accredited by BREEAM as Outstanding and by the UK Green Building Council, Eden demonstrates the potential of putting net zero ambitions at the heart of design.
