TCPA Study Tour: Cornwall 2024 - Day 1 Following Buildeco's win in 2017 for the Sunday Times ‘British Homes Award’ for its conceptual Multi-Generation Flexivillages built along former railway lines to deliver homes for 1 million residents within the OX-Cam Arc, comprising forty new garden villages of around 25,000 people each, I was intrigued to see how others have implemented sustainable large-scale eco-developments in Cornwall. The first scheme the TCPA group visited in St. Austell was delivered by ECOBOS for a Garden Village at West Carclaze. Phase 1 includes 163 high-quality homes, with a total of 1,875 homes planned to be built to high sustainability standards on this former 240-hectare clay mining site. The long-term vision for the development includes providing a range of local shops, a primary school and nursery, health facilities, community buildings, a care home, self-build plots, a market square, and various recreational facilities. In total, 2,000 jobs will be created. The second scheme, Nansledan, is located on the eastern edge of Newquay. Developed by the Duchy of Cornwall and master planned by New Classical architect Leon Krier CVO, a critic of architectural modernism, Nansledan is a sustainable new community. Krier taught for twenty years at the AA, where I was a student when he was a tutor. Nansledan, which began development in 2014, will provide 4,000 homes once completed. To date, 770 homes have been built, with the remainder expected to be finished by 2040 on a 500-acre site, of which 300 acres are developable land. The ongoing development includes 43 commercial spaces, and future plans will add a GP surgery and a commercial town centre. New bridges will link Nansledan with other Duchy land, which will include homes for the homeless. The two developments present contrasting approaches: one modern and the other pastiche/traditional. Which approach do you prefer? #TCPA #Cornwell #StAustell #Newquay #planning #planners #architects #ecovillages #ecotowns #duchyland #studytour 

Eastern Suburbs: Skyward Bound, Community Grounded An ambitious rezoning proposal on New South Head Road aimed at redefining the amalgamted site's architectural and social landscape is in the final stages of planning, with gateway determination issued mid-2023. The site's new planning framework will facilitate a transformative mixed-use development that is visionary in scope and grounded in community benefits. In particular, the site's building height and FSR have improved to 46 metres (from 14.5 metres) and 5:1 (from 1.5:1). The existing streetscape of New South Head Road features inconsistent typologies, fragmented built scales and low pedestrian amenities. Development of the sites will provide a much-needed opportunity to enhance the consistency of built form along the northern side of New South Head Road, as well as benefit the streetscape.

Denmark's main news site on city development, Byrummonitor, is reporting on our work in Manchester with the Red Bank masterplan, co-directed together with anglo-dutch Maccreanor Lavington. The masterplan submitted for planning approval covers 17ha by the River Irk close to St. Catherine's Woods and Victoria Station. The area is currently a post-industrial brownfield site previously home to a historic slum and railway area. Our work is planning for thousands of new homes to be built here as an urban design response to Manchester City Council’s declaration of a ‘Climate Emergency’. Our masterplan brings the urban experience of Manchester city centre in proximity with the found wild nature under our Wild Urbanism concept. New urban habitat for people as well as areas reserved for undisturbed non-human animal and wildlife underpin a new natural and compact urban blueprint for living in Manchester. Read more about the masterplan, about Wild Urbanism, and about some differences between working in Denmark and England in the Byrummonitor article (in Danish).

nineteen47 Ltd. have been reflecting on our continued connection to the Chesterfield Champions network, following our recent attendance at the #celebrate24 event in the town. Coordinated by Destination Chesterfield, events like #celebrate24 are continuing to raise the profile of Chesterfield as a place to invest and do business.    #celebrate24 showcased all that is thriving within Chesterfield, and nineteen47 Ltd. take pride in supporting the Chesterfield Property and Construction Group. The Group is an excellent example of public-private sector collaboration, who have a clear vision of using development as a means for securing a prosperous future for the Chesterfield.    One of the speakers at #celebrate24 outlined that people will be the driving force behind Chesterfield’s success and encouraged attendees to facilitate a people-first approach in their own working environments. We couldn’t agree more with the idea that people shape the future, and we certainly think that Chesterfield is onto a winner! 🏆   #townplanning #architecture #urbanplanning #urbandesign #design #planning #development #townplanner #people #team #collaborate #network #connect #invest #business #future #sustainabledevelopment #economy #economicgrowth #Chesterfield #nineteen47 #Sheffield #York #Nottingham

The Herald Dispatch recently covered our forthcoming initiative in Huntington, West Virginia, focusing on enhancing the stretch of 3rd Avenue between 22nd and 24th Streets within the Highlawn Brownfields Innovation Zone (H-BIZ). This project aims to enhance connectivity along this corridor, fostering property redevelopment, establishing secure pedestrian, and cycling pathways, and implementing traffic enhancements. The overarching objective is to facilitate improved connections between the Highlawn neighborhood, Marshall University, and the properties already undergoing development by the Huntington Municipal Development Authority (HMDA). Our team and subconsultants are excited the project is funded and ready for design! https://lnkd.in/gmqDxuzF #SGA #stromberggarrigan #landscapearchitecture #landscapearchitects #corridorimprovements #roadwayimprovements #pedestrianfriendly #economicdevelopment #brownfields #HMDA #huntingtonwestvirginia #HBIZ #Highlawnbrownfieldsinnovationzone #marshalluniversity #design #sitedesign #redevelopment

Pleased to see progress on Nottingham's Broad Marsh area. Back in September 2020 Green Hustle's first festival, all online in the pandemic, hosted (alongside friends at Nottingham Climate Assembly) the first public meeting on re-imagining this opportune former shopping centre site... In an assembly format, we listened to over 60 attendees' hopes and dreams for our city's future. You can watch the whole thing back here: https://lnkd.in/di64e2br Background info was provided by Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust CEO Paul Wilkinson as well as two of our most pioneering and community-minded politicians, then-Deputy Leader and Carbon Neutral Nottingham 2028 champion Sally Longford and the ever-excellent Nadia Whittome MP. Ok it wasn't a terribly balanced panel, but was at a green-themed festival and 10,000 people had at that point already signed a petition calling for it to be made a green space. Early days for me, my very first experience co-designing and facilitating anything like an assembly. We also heard from a seven year old, and the brilliant Lucelia Rodrigues reflecting on what our youngest citizens wanted to see from the space from school engagement. But it was what came from our participants that was the magic, and it helped stimulate the official Big Conversation, playing a part in informing these plans. Jury is out on whether they deliver... Glad to see so many green roofs, more room given over to people and nature, even an actual marsh! And space for celebrating our heritage, which is what Nottingham people called for. (I just hope the Green Heart park doesn't get any smaller) The new NHS diagnostic centre and re-use of the broadly unloved old Broadmarsh centre's rather brutal frame is also, I think, fantastic. People power! 🏹 💚 EDITS - some good people have contradicted my initially rosey assessment, and I admit it isn't perfect. I have rebalanced a bit. I don't think we're ever all going to be totally happy AND it be viable for developers. Maybe a medium is being found here. I hope it is at least as green as the picture paints... Let's remember many people also find the idea of it being a big green space ridiculous and impractical, though I would love that too! I am proud of what we did in growing the conversation and demanding real engagement.

It has been INCREDIBLY INSPIRING to see the advancements in sustainable construction and living we have made in the industry over recent years, particularly in Seattle. Developers are not just looking for ways to build green, they are also focused on marrying that effort with innovation, style, and increased comfort and convenience—proving that there is no reason why we shouldn’t all be prioritizing going green! I can't think of a more inspiring property to showcase than the 2023 Built Green Hammer Awards Project of the Year: Lakehouse 2.0 from Dwell Development.
