The Optic Cloak on Greenwich Peninsula
The Optic Cloak on Greenwich Peninsula

On a scale to rival Antony Gormley’s Angel of the North, this gigantic sculpture has a practical function far beyond being purely decorative. Designed in collaboration with the architectural practice CF Møller Architects, the 49-metre high by 20-metre wide building houses an energy centre providing hot water and heating for 15,000 homes. A low carbon energy centre housed within The Optic Cloak will save an estimated 15-20,000 tonnes of carbon emissions.
