BALTIC WHARF URBAN REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
BRISTOL HARBOURSIDE UK Art & Culture
The creation of Baltic Wharf as a major centre for culture and the arts, is a key aim of the re-development proposal and is designed to function as an informal but lively work / live community, which serves the people of Spike Island and neighbouring areas, aswell as being a destination capable of attracting national and international attention. Baltic Wharf’s established reputation as a centre for maritime industry is well known, and has become synonymous with revitalising the area in the post timber yard era. The decision to relocate all maritime industry from a prime location in the Albion Dock Yard, to the western most boundary of the site adjacent to the new marina, was made with the intention of unifying, protecting and conserving the unique local identity of Spike Island.
Leisure & Tourism Leisure runs at the heart of the ‘floating community’ design strategy, with a new narrowboat community residing at the new marina, and occupying the three central waterway axes connecting to the heart of the site. These linkages are vital in preserving the areas historic association with the water and in underpinning the desired community ethos of living and working on the water and being self-sustaining from a predominantly water-based economy. The new purpose built Visitor Centre and Lido, to the east, will occupy the length of the former Albion Dock Yard, an area designed to bring new vitality and connectivity between new and existing historic, cultural attractions, offering a restaurant facility, run in conjunction with the permanently acquired ‘The Matthew’ship. A new footbridge connecting ‘The Matthew’ tourist attraction with the SS Great Britain, provides a much needed legible link between tourist attractions, facilitating improved, unfettered and continuous access to the waterfront. To the south westerly end of Albion Dock Yard, a new single storey Lido building, complete with sun deck, will run adjacent to a 50m outdoor swimming pool, occupying a section of the listed historic graving dock, as a new, quirky, ‘go to’ leisure destination, offering a unique visitor experience, in attractive tranquil landscaped surroundings.

The detailed area occupies the north eastern corner of the former Albion Dock Yard, bordering the Floating Harbour with Chatham Wharf to the north and the Grade II listed Dry Dock to the east. The area will be re-purposed to serve as a multi-functional informal leisure and recreation destination, providing direct links to a new purpose built Visitor’s Centre, built to serve visitors to replica The Matthew ship permanently moored in the former Dry Dock.
Section Elevation A-A’ Proposed Marina & Waterfront Development
An engineered line of sight framing The Matthew, SS Great Britain and Bristol Cathedral in the same frame, allows visitor’s to marvel at the city’s once great maritime tradition, bringing a new robustness and vitality to the city skyline. The area in conjunction with the Visitor Centre is intended to pay homage to Spike Island’s proud tradition as a centre for maritime industry, but in particular, serves as a visual and physical reminder of the once industrious Albion Dock Yard, which will be relocated to form a unified maritime centre at the already renowned Underfall Yard, under the wider redevelopment proposal.

Section Elevation B-B’ Proposed Vauxhall Bridge Gateway, Amphitheatre & Boating Lake
The detailed area itself, takes the form of a ship’s deck, offering continuous uninterrupted access around the dockside peripheries, encouraging visitors to take in the views of the Floating Harbour, Hotwells, Cabot Tower and Bristol Cathedral. Bespoke GRP seating, fashioned on ship deck components, sit along side informal planting, which uses wind energy from the exposed location, to imitate the playful motion of waves as a ship passes through water. A series of formal topiary hedges, shaped to represent the ship’s hull, mark a notable distinction between the formal ‘engineered’ interior of the ship’s deck and the informal ‘natural’ qualities of water on the outside.

The ‘deck area’, comprises two distinct public spaces, one of quiet contemplation and reflection to the south and a larger multi-functional space making up the remaining ‘deck area’ to the north. The space is specifically designed to be dynamic and adaptable, with a permanent raised seating area around the outside, linking to a purpose built raised platform, representing an actual ship’s deck. The space is designed for intimate concert recitals, amateur dramatics productions, public seminars and other forms of visual entertainment. Portable seating components can be moved or removed to allow for additional seating and or enable the space to be used for farmer’s markets and craft fairs.

The planting scheme is integral to understanding the wider design concept. The chosen plant palette represents a fundamental structural element, underpinning the overall representation of the ship’s hull. A two tier hedge in the form of Yew, (Taxus baccata) and Hornbeam, (Carpinus betulus) were chosen to embody the main structure of the ship, with the dark evergreen of Yew with its inherent tolerance for being clipped and shaped over time, making it a strong choice for achieving the required height and density and expediting the ultimate goal of creating the impression of a manicured ship’s hull.
In contrast to formal hedge planting used to create the impression of a more man-made, ‘engineered’ ship’s hull and deck, a more informal, softer, ‘natural’ exterior, is intended to represent the movement of water and the imitation of waves and wake as a vessel cuts through water. The use of perennial grasses such as Mexican Feather Grass, (Stipa tenuissima), Tussock Sedge, (Carex stricta), Ponytail Grass, (Pennisetum) and Purple Moor Grass, (Molinia caerulea), provide a transient, fluidity and playfulness, while African Lily, (Agapanthus), Purple Coneflower, (Echinacea), Torch Lily, (Kniphofia), Bee Balm, (Monarda), Red Bistort, (Persicaria), Sage, (Salvia), Betony, (Stachys) and Grass Root, (Eupatorium), bring vertical structure and accents of colour, introducing an element of drama and surprise, while drawing the line of sight up towards the ‘ship’s hull’, inviting a sense of intrigue enticing one to explore the spaces concealed within ‘The Ark’.
The lime green leaves of Hornbeam provide a strong foliar contrast when set against the backdrop of dark Yew during spring and summer, with the attractive copper leaves retained by Hornbeam throughout the winter months, assiting with maintenance, as well as providing a stunning backdrop to the biscuity hues of perennial grasses and spent seed heads. The combination of Hornbeam and Yew retain the physical structure of ‘The Ark’ throughout the winter, taking on a more lifelike representation of ‘wooden’ ship’s hull, from autumn to the end of winter while herbaceous perennials remain dormant.

The development design principles are based upon a permaculture based approach to land management, using human stewardship as a means of creating a viable new node for eco-tourism. This seeks to re-establish a culture of self-reliance and economic self-sufficiency, reharmonising the community of the Forest of Dean with the natural environment, in order to preserve and enhance its vulnerable landscape for future generations. The development should be viewed as a blue print for a longer term development plan, one which could pave the way for other similar housing models, which could be rolled out in other strategic locations and designed as an interlinked network capable of providing an array of green infrastructure opportunities, while improving public health, local employment opportunities and reinvigorating a dwlindling local economy in the post mining era.

The development seeks to redress many of the existing social and economic issues within the district, promoting small scale sustainable urban growth as a means of creating a distinctive, enduring environment. The self-build model, is aimed at involving community members and involving local builders as a means of helping to restore local identity. A central aim of the development would be to establish an environmentally conscious community ethos, which could re-establish and build a robust local economy and exceed a 20% saving on the delivery of housing stock.

Crucially, The self-build model would retain the flexibility to adapt to market change and demand, with higher level design flexibility, allowing for design modifications in the mid to longer term, which could accommodate advances in technology, work habits and lifestyle habits. By examining the basic design principles which have sustained the unique sense of place attributed to the Forest of Dean, the development proposal favours a more organic, environment led economy, which is socially ecological in meeting the specific needs of the local community and one which prioritises social change at a grass roots level.

SuDS are at the heart of the development design ethos serving as strategic navigational axes while offering key functions in support of the ecologically responsible code of conduct expected to be adopted by incumbant inhabitants. Circular SuDS lakes are strategically located for aesthetic appeal and for use as irrigation, while blackwater reed bed treatment systems are located along lateral spines of open green space, which residents pass through on a daily basis and can congregate at and use for recreational down-time.
Swale spines connecting to tributaries of Cannop Ponds alleviate localised ground water levels and reduce high level water contaminants

SuDS ponds form focal features around key site function buildings and congregation areas and provide natural irrigation to crop circles
The development layout combines design with nature to achieve an engineered solution to optimum productivity and output. The positioning of ‘crop circles’ in close proximity to the able bodied working population and the open uninterrupted aspect of crop circles maximises the opportunity for continuous daylight while the surrounding buildings help to create a unique micro-climate which offers protection from wind exposure while engineere axes provide a ready and continuous supply of fresh water irrigation. A diverse system of crop rotation, reduces vulnerability to a variety of threats and takes advantage of the unique nature of the environment and using it to safeguard ecological benefits and self-production through human stewardship enabling a better understanding of how best to adapt to inevitable change at the right time.

HAUTEVILLE COURT GARDENS RESIDENTIAL MANSION BLOCK
LONDON UK
䄀 In 2012, I was approached by Hauteville Court Resident’s Association to redesign a large private communal area to the rear of this West London mansion block. The brief required a functional, usable space, which afforded privacy to occupants, whilst providing a welcoming and relaxing low maintenance and serviceable space where people could disconnect and unwind. The design remit included; the redesigning of a refuse area and reconfiguration and reorientation of a communal cycle store, within the more secure confines of the newly created communal recreation area. Budgetary limitations required a practical solution which kept the existing footprint of hardstanding encompassing the entire mansion block so not to disturb a complex network of underground drainage and electrical conduits. The project was built according to my design and specification and completed in 2015.

In 2008, I was approached by Hampton International in Marbella draw up a development proposal for a large plot of land they were marketing in the exclusive Sierra Blanca district of Marbella. The brief was to produce a full set of design drawing that would sell the Mediterranean dream to prospective buyers from around the world. With so much inappropriate and incongruous building in the surrounding area, I made it my personal mission to retain as much of the original vegetation and contour lines as possible. The proposed villa drew strong influences from the architecture of architect Luís Barrágan, while the planting took the architectural and textural qualities of a select palette of Mediterranean plants and combined it with the fragrant trees and shrubs introduced by the Moors to Andalucia, at the Alhambra Palace in Granada. 15

Working with the Landscape Wherever possible the landscape is used to influence the built form. The organic shape of the earth shelter development mimic the natural form of the surrounding landscape giving the illusion of gently rolling pastures that train the eye out to the AONB to the south while mitigating the visual impact on residents to the north. Swales follow site contours providing drainage and high quality environment for users.

Sustainable Community Sense of place The ethos of the development focuses on supporting a sustainable economy for residents and the wider community providing a wealth of multi-functional and profitable GI assets designed to increase tourism and employment opportunities. The development would require a collaborative approach to managing GI assets vital in enhancing and maintaining local distinctiveness. If managed effectively and collectively on site GI assets and facilities have the capacity to engage local community at all levels bringing a greater sense of place and improving community spirit which in turn will stimulate employment outside investment and tourism.
