"The most radical landing stage ever built in Britain" the Independent Review. The whole idea of a pier has been re-thought in this design - first, by developing an elegant, innovative engineering method of securing the pier; replacing the traditional, visually dominating vertical dolphins with virtually invisible radial arms; and second by developing an architectural concept that integrates the ramp, steps and pontoon shelter within a single folded form defined by continuous surfaces of plate steel, more akin to a stealth boat than the normal floating pontoon toped by an unrelated shelter.
