Championship Side Fulham Appoints Heatherwick Studio For Riverside Plan

Redevelopment work on the Riverside stand at League Championship side Fulham’s Craven Cottage home "will be overseen by Heatherwick Studio," according to Aaron Gourley of FC BUSINESS. Club Chair Shahid Khan has "personally commissioned Heatherwick Studio, led by celebrated designer Thomas Heatherwick." Khan has aspirations of "creating an iconic landmark on the banks of the River Thames." The west London club has been "executing pre-commencement conditions for some considerable time to enable work to begin on the Riverside, where planning permission has already been achieved for a new stand." The plans will increase the capacity of Craven Cottage as the club strives "for a return to the Premier League as well as open up the Riverwalk for the first time, along with the club’s commitment to investment in Bishop’s Park." Heatherwick Studio designed the London 2012 Olympic cauldron and is "currently working on large-scale architectural projects" in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, America and the U.K. (FC BUSINESS, 4/25).
