Venture Xtreme
Silvertown’s extreme sports centre will be built in 2 stages; the first being
the outdoor facilities and surf centre followed by the indoor adventure centre.
The intention is to open the surf centre, along with Biota! in 2010.
The surf pool forms the centre of this outdoor experience, built into the
existing dock. A series of ‘extreme’ structures and facilities draw upon the
character of the rich industrial past to create iconic forms and public spaces.
A giant 9m high wave tank doubles as a climbing wall and TV screen. Adjustable
‘crane’ lighting rigs illuminate the surf and the ‘silversand’ beach. A beach
bar, floating bistro, sports shops, and the indoor VX centre complete this
unique urban sports experience, set within the heart of the capital!
