Contractor Osborne has completed construction of a Victorian-style Chinese pagoda in the East End of London, as part of a 拢12m regeneration of Tower Hamlets鈥� Victoria Park ahead of the Olympic Games.

The open-sided building is a replica of one which stood in the park from 1847 to the 1950s.

It was first built in Hyde Park as the entrance for a Chinese exhibition which ran from 1841 to 1843. It was sold to Victoria Park for 拢11.

Osborne sub-contracted construction of the pagoda to structural carpentry specialist Frametech and joinery specialist Bartram Timber.

The improvements were part-funded by Tower Halmlets council and the National Lottery.

Bartram Timber sales director Kevin Jackson said: 鈥淏artram Timber is the natural choice for a project of this size and complexity as we are well used to producing timber solutions to highly specialised designs.

鈥淥ur expertise in converting the structural engineer鈥檚 plans to workshop fabrication drawings was essential in creating the massive glulam beams for the roof, which were shaped to form the traditional sweeping curve of the Chinese roof design. We then hand-made the infill to complete the roof structure.鈥�

He added: 鈥淭he second part of the pagoda project was to lasercut the decorative fret work for the walls of the structure from birch plywood.

鈥淎ll the timber for this project has been fire-treated and we hope the beauty of the finished structure and its peaceful location will discourage other sorts of vandalism.鈥�
