The Stratford is located in the London district of the same name, which is currently one of the fastest growing and most diverse neighborhoods in the city. In the immediate vicinity is the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, where the 2012 Olympic Games were held.

The same applies to the deep recesses at the transition from the plinth to the tower and about halfway up the tower. The unconventional shape is encased in a pleated façade that allows the building to change depending on the angle from which it is viewed. In the view from above, it becomes clear that these are not curtain-type shading elements, but that the facade is actually laid in countless folds.
