Haworth Tompkins is leading the design of a 4000 capacity music hall fit-out for AEG Europe in Olympia, Kensington. The music hall building, referred to as West Hall, forms part of the Future Olympia Exhibition Centre Masterplan, led by architects SPPARC and Heatherwick Studio for developer Yoo Capital. West Hall houses the live music venue across two primary floor levels, located above exhibition halls below.
