Forgotten Places
LDA competition - Forgotten places
This competition created an opportunity about reclaiming and putting sustainability at the front of the design. Reconnecting the site to the wider fabric of Gloucester creates better access to green spaces for the surrounding neighbourhoods. It gives communities a place to grow and strengthen. I also had sustainability as a priority, reclaiming the space and building resilience towards climate change.

A Community hub, live/workspaces and a cafe creates a 24/7 space. This creates a lively community that thrives.
The wetland increases biodiversity on the site, while providing good circulation
The woodland walks have play integrated throughout of the site.
