TOWN PLANNING & ENVIRONMENTAL
DESIGN |
Re-planning 200 flats
This 1960's estate was given improved security and private gardens for
the ground floor maisonettes. (St Pauls Gardens for Bristol City Council)
|
Rebuilding 200 houses
In this 1930's estate we planned a ten year re-building programme in
which the roads were modernised at the same time as the piecemeal re-builiding
was carried out.
At the centre of long roads we introduced pedestrian and
community areas, forming safe cul-de-sacs. (the
Sutton Estate, Brislington,Bristol) |
|
LOW ENERGY AND SUSTAINABLE RESOURCES |
Our
schemes have won several low energy awards, and our latest
design award is for a sustainable timber framed housing scheme.
|
SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY ARCHITECTURE
We
designed with the first pioneering new build co-operatives,
and have continued this approach with the first Estate Action scheme in
Bristol at St Paul's. Consulting the users of a scheme has been a
theme in many other neighbourhood and community projects.
|
DREAM CONCEPT PROJECTS AND CREATIVE
IDEAS
In the award winning Bloy Street urban renewal, we identified enough
space to form a new pedestrian square. This was designed to slow down the
traffic and sets out the parking under a canopy of dense Whitebeam trees.

LISTED BUILDINGS AND CONSERVATION
|
 |
Several new developments like this have been designed in the
Bristol Conservation areas. This design for a corner is unique because it
is two new houses, interlocked, within the outline of the old, each with
their own front door. |
