Chatham Waterfront Bus Station
Chatham Kent
A permeable bus station with platforms nestled under tree like canopies, within a wider landscape.
D5 were initially commissioned to complete a feasibility study through an open international competitive selection process.
Located near Chathams waterfront, the new Dynamic Bus Facility (DBF) forms part of Medway’s £6 billion regeneration programme. Its central location means that the bus station has no principle entrance and must be approachable from all directions. With permeability a key principle, platform buildings are nestled within a wider landscaping scheme to provide a strong pedestrian link through the centre of the site and create a bus station within a parkland setting. Fully glazed buildings with tree like structure and curved copper roofs reflect the natural context and aspiration for transparency.
