George King Architects are pleased to reveal their stage 2 design in the Forest Green Rovers FC stadium contest. GKA’s design takes inspiration from the surrounding countryside with an inhabitable green roof that forms a landscaped park. A series of sloped terraces rise gently in an arrangement of bands to create a recreational space for the community to enjoy.
GKA’s design received a ‘highly commended’ nod from the competition jury. Designs from Zaha Hadid Architects and Glen Howells have progressed to the final, with a winner chosen this coming September.
George King Architects are delighted to be one of nine firms shortlisted in the Forest Green Rovers stadium design competition. The competition called for an “iconic building designed to the highest sustainability standards.”
GKA’s design takes the form of an inhabitable hill, with the stadium carved into the middle. The hill itself will be a landscaped park featuring a series of sloped terraces which rise gently in an arrangement of bands to create a space that can be used by the community for recreational activities such as walking, jogging or cycling.
The competition will now be narrowed down to two finalists, with a winner chosen in September.
