SOUTHEND STAYPORT

Southend Stayport seeks to reinvent failing London Southend Airport. This project aims to give back this large piece of infrastructure from the hands of London holiday goers into the hands of the Southend-on-Sea community. The airport perimeter becomes a park, whilst the terminal building is reinvented into a new community- driven gateway to this new green area. The last remaining destinations of the airport, transform, alongside the needs of the community, into a new program which provides cultural spaces, community gardening and dining, community living and further leisure spaces for all of the Southend Community. This new program reinvents the vacation, giving way for the local staycation, open to all, in the heart of Southend.
