Shared Ambitions

Ambitions which we share with the client for this exciting project are;

• Exemplary and Visionary first District

  Rethink typical approach to development of brown field sites, take queues from the existing ARUP Master plan and address the key challenges with solutions which embrace project ambitions

• Zero Carbon and Circular Economy

  Existing structures will be re-used where possible, rejuvenating them with new green planted facades and new amenities. The low ground-scraping form maximizes opportune area for renewables

• Regenerative and permeable landscape

  The existing site is typically car focused like many industrial areas, we will look to recover a pedestrian friendly network with fine-grain connections throughout the District to better serve vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians

• Distinct sense of Place

  Engaging frontages and variety of new collegiate functions will support both employee well-being and serendipitous socializing and informal gathering. It will also encourage interaction and exchange between tenants and visitors
