Riverside
The design theme focuses on movement and fluidity and was inspired by the location of the development, next to the bus and metrolink stations, and the reopened River Roch. The kinetic wall next to the river consists of thousands of small aluminum plates that move in the wind. The plates continuously mirror natural patterns imprinted by the wind and reflect the flow of the river.
The scheme incorporates high quality landscaped areas which lie adjacent to Bean and the entrance to the cinema. Embedded with the landscape are areas of seating which is designed to improve the experience of visitors to the scheme.
