Vauxhall Cross (MI6)

The Secret Intelligence Services Building, more commonly known as the MI6 Building, is the headquarters of the British Secret Intelligence Service, situated on the Albert Embankment section of the River Thames in London. The site on which the building stands had been the location of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens and along with various industrial buildings after the demolition of the Pleasure Garden's in the 1850s. In 1983, the site was bought by property developers Ragalian Properties, and a competition to develop the site was won by Terry Farrell and Partners, with an urban village as Farrells' original proposal. Following the decision of the British Government to purchase the site and building as a new headquarters for the SIS, a scheme of office blocks was subsequently developed for the site with the government agency as the occupier. The building was completed in 1993-1994.

Vasteras Railway Station

Vasteras Railway Station, Sweden. New railway station and associated master plan. 1993-1995. Winning competition entry but not executed.

Terry Farrell and Company were invited to submit a competition proposal to design Vasteras’ main railway station in 1993. The central urban design concept was to address the fact that the town had been substantially cut off from the lakeside edge when the railway track had first been built. The station was therefore conceived as a bridge between the lake and the town as well as an access point to the train services. It was desirable to form links to pedestrian and bicycle routes, and create formal public spaces at street level as a new district around the station with a distinct identity. A pedestrian bridge route was to be integrated into the scheme to provide general public access at all times, linking the town centre and the Eastern Dock.

The most visually striking part of the station design was a curved glass arch 72 metres long and 13 metres high, resembling an ancient Viking helmet in silhouette, supported by a series of timber ribs reminiscent of the frames of Viking longboats.
