The Oracle, Reading (RG1) is a 76,200 sq m (c. 820,000 sq ft) town-centre shopping and leisure destination opened in 1999, uniquely arranged around the River Kennet with a major riverside restaurant/leisure promenade running through the scheme.
We worked for Hammerson on the river walkways and public realm, coordinating complex interfaces over and along the water and securing stakeholder approvals to deliver key connections including Cooks Bridge and the elliptical Delphi Bridge, alongside event space and stadium-style riverside seating that shape the Riverside arrival and experience.
