Native Land has appointed four architectural practices to develop designs for four buildings within Eastern Yards, part of its £1bn Bankside Yards project on the south bank of the Thames in central London.

They are PLP, Allies & Morrison, Stiff & Trevillion and Ken Shuttleworth’s Make Architects.

Eastern Yards, on the former Sampson House site at the southern end of Blackfriars Bridge, makes up 550,000sq ft of the 1.4m sq ft Bankside Yards development, and comprises five buildings in total.
