Having visited Lords a couple of times I have to agree with the comments by Haverjack. Such a transformation not only enriches this exceptional venue for players and fans but also reinforces the venue’s reputation for commissioning excellence in architecture.Consulting on 14 disciplines throughout this project, the Buro Happold team has proved uniquely capable of co-creating outcome-focused solutions to complex engineering problems without compromising function or form.By understanding client aspiration for the stands and how this relates to broader venue objectives, Buro Happold’s expertise is helping to ensure that Lord’s remains the best place in the world to watch and play cricket.We are an international, integrated consultancy of engineers, consultants and advisers. From the Pavilion, MCC members will still be able to view trees through gaps in and over the top of parts of the new stands.A planning application will be submitted later this year to Westminster City Council after consultation with local residents. If consent is granted, MCC members will be asked to approve the plans at the club’s AGM in the spring of 2019, and work to demolish the existing stands will begin after next year’s Test match against Australia.The designs are the work of two-time Stirling Prize winners WilkinsonEyre, the architects responsible for the refurbishment of Battersea Power Station.The vision of the proposed new Compton (left) and Edrich stands at Lord’s.The vision of the proposed new Compton (left) and Edrich stands at Lord’s.The artist’s impression of the view from the proposed Edrich stand at Lord’s.

A walkway linking both stands and overlooking the Nursery Ground will be introduced.
