1.1250 Masterplan Carving into the tissue of the city

The site is carved to form a series of masses and voids which are of equal weight and importance. The spaces formed, the spaces in-between and the spaces within are considered and informed by the human experience, and of the daily acts and practices which are enveloped in the home. Three typologies are intertwined through the centre of the site, connected by mews streets and gathered around a communal courtyard. The two symbolic site entrances are characterised by spaces and landmarks that create visual cues and links to the wider city . To the north the re imagined foyer allows the high-street to spill into the site creating a reflective and intimate space. To the south the new clock tower creates a visual landmark , replacing the historic vertical node fulfilled by the now burnt down Town Hall.
