Poole Bus Station Redevelopment, Dolphin Shopping Centre, Dorset 2009 Penson Architects, London POOLE BUS STATION WHO ON EARTH IS MURAL - BY PENSON 29 May 2009 PENSON has completed another exciting project, in the form of Wilts & Dorset Poole Bus Station with a gigantic bespoke mural, lighting and general refurbishments. images : PENSON / David Barbour Being appointed by the consortium formed with Wilts & Dorset Borough of Poole, Go South Coast and Grosvenor Estates, PENSON were asked to solve a long standing problem of developing solutions to create impact with a minimal and strict budget. All of course, under the gaze of local public opinions and the scrutiny of local businesses. Chris Harris, Public Relations Manager, Go South Coast comments: "The project has gone exceptionally well - Penson's done a very good job. We are delighted with what they have done. The temporary bus station has worked very well, with no disruption or delays caused to anyone's journeys" The building which includes a shopping centre with an outdoor covered walkway with entrance to shops and bus departure points is 40 years old. By the 21st Century the building was showing its age. PENSON instantly developed the concept of inverting the bus station with the UK's largest mural which is based upon views of various local activities which are taking place above the bus station's canopy, as if the canopy was a large section of glass. Up close, the mural developed in house by PENSON is hard to soak in, which brings an ongoing intrigue for passers by. As you move around beneath the mural, you see different shapes, textures & patterns emerging & forming large elements. Approx. cost: £300,000 Feature : UK’s biggest outdoor mural For : Borough of Poole + Grosvenor + Wilts and Dorset Bus Company Poole Bus Station Redevelopment images / information received 280509 Bus Station Buildings English Houses Architecture Studios Contemporary Interiors English School Buildings Church Buildings New Houses Office Buildings World Architecture : e-architect - a guide to key buildings across the globe Comments / photos for the Poole Bus Station Redevelopment England Architecture page welcome: info@e-architect.co.uk Poole Bus Station Redevelopment Building : page - adrian welch / isabelle lomholt			Buildings by this architect: Peckham Space Key Links: English Housing English Skyscrapers English Architects English Architecture
