Dover Seafront - design by Tonkin Liu Architects

Dover Esplanade, Dover Design: Tonkin Liu Architects photos © Robbie Polley RIBA Award winner, 19 May 2011 The Dover seafront has been transformed by artworks that take the form of three waves gently washing up against the sheltered beach. The Lifting Wave is a repeating form of curving white concrete ramps and staircases that rise and fall to connect the Esplanade to the lower shingle beach. The Resting Wave; a second sculptural white concrete wall made up of a series of moulded curves. The recesses house oak benches, the promontories raised lawns. The third line is the lighting wave. The lighting columns rise and fall like froth on the bubbling crest of a wave. These deceptively effortless interventions lend this shore line path a true sense of place and of fun. photo © Mike Tonkin Dover Esplanade - Building Information Title: Dover Esplanade Location: Waterloo Crescent, Dover Architect: Tonkin Liu Client: Kent County Council; Sea Change:DCMS:CABE; Dover Harbour Board; Dover District Council Contractor: Ringway Infrastructure Services Contract Value: £2m Completion Date: Aug 2010 Gross internal area: 6,000 sqm Tonkin Liu RIBA Awards
