The proposed built form is located tight up against the plot boundary on all sides apart from the elevation facing the DLR. A small courtyard space is proposed in this location due to constraints imposed by the DLR. It is proposed that this space is simply paved with coloured bands of brick pavers reflecting the banding found in the elevation of the building. The south part of this space is located under the overhang of the DLR platform above. In this location a galvanised arched trellis is proposed which mimics the arches found on the structure of the viaduct. This trellis is proposed to be planted with shade tolerate planting and is to be up lit at night. It is envisaged that this space will occasionally be used by the occupants of the commercial unit and it is intended that it will look attractive when not in use at night.
