The Emirates Stadium Winner of numerous planning, Architectural and hospitality awards, Emirates Stadium is undoubtedly a striking piece of civic architecture. Unusual and surprising from every angle, it perfectly encapsulates both the ambition and traditions of Arsenal Football Club, both on and off the pitch. An impressive mix of glass plank facade, woven steel mesh and a metallic under-clad roof which seemingly floats above the exposed concrete seating bowl forms the main building, and careful consideration was required for a complementary but functional scheme. Proposals at Emirates Stadium included a completely redeveloped concourse within which multiples of bespoke recessed Arborslot tree surrounds were specified by HOK Sport. While aesthetically pleasing, Arborslot enables paving to be taken up to the tree aperture, complying with DDA and reducing the risk of trip or fall. Location: Emirates Stadium, North London.
