Enhanced Public Realm

The location of the building within an open public space means that all its ground level frontage is visible and accessible.

Currently, the surrounding area is a hard landscape that lacks interest. It is exposed to the elements, with a lack of shade, biodiversity and seating. Our proposal will soften the landscaping by providing new areas of greenery along with outdoor seating.

New planting will encourage biodiversity and wildlife and create green connections to Potters Fields Park.

By removing the garage on the south side of the building, we can open and brighten the space as well as improving walking routes and views to Potters Fields Park.
