The London Eye is set to have a new rival \u2014 thanks to a cadre of design talents\u00a0in Thailand.<\/p>\n

Bangkok-based architecture studio Concept i, led by Geoff Morrison, the founder, and architect incharge of exterior design Francesc Domingo, will be master-planning and designing\u00a0The Whey Aye, a giant observation wheel in Newcastle upon Tyne, in partnership with British\u00a0developer\u00a0World Wheel Company.<\/p>\n

At 140 metres (460 feet) tall, The Whey Aye will be the tallest observation wheel in Europe,\u00a016 feet (5 metres) higher than the famed\u00a0Thames River landmark.<\/p>\n

The GBP100-million (USD132 million) development in Newcastle Quayside will cover 32,000 square metres, including a new retail, dining and entertainment destination called Giants on the Quayside.<\/p>\n

The observation wheel will tower above a family entertainment centre, offering such activity areas as trampolines, climbing walls, and a skywalk. A multi-purpose play and sports complex, with covered five-a-side pitches, tennis courts, and\u00a0a state-of-the-art virtual golf club, will complement the entertainment centre.<\/p>\n

More:\u00a07 of Asia’s best resort residences<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cGiants on the Quayside will truly set Newcastle apart as a first-class destination for leisure and entertainment, and help create one of Europe\u2019s leading waterfront experiences,\u201d said Phil Lynagh, chief executive officer of World Wheel Company\u2019s Newcastle operation, in a statement.<\/p>\n

The Whey Aye development is expected to generate some 550 jobs, with\u00a0completion set for 18 to 24 months from start of construction.<\/p>\n

Established in 1996, Concept i has expanded over the years to open an office in Shanghai and work\u00a0on more than 150 projects in at least\u00a019 countries.<\/p>\n
