Project description

Pumping Stations, as part of a £300 million environmental improvement scheme to bring cleaner seas to Sussex, won in design competition.

Innovations & added value

The pumping station at Portobello, Telscombe Cliffs, is below ground level to maintain uninterrupted views of the sea from Telscombe Tye – where the South Downs meet the sea. Marine Drive Pumping Station, located above Brighton Marina, was designed as a landmark feature, providing a gateway into the city from the east. Made up of a domed, metal-clad structure,set between two free form, curving ‘berms’, it integrates into the soft forms of the adjacent open spaces.
