Sited in Greenbelt land
This project involves the masterplan and building design of a small business enterprise village in Birstall, Wakefield. The site located within the green belt, was originally occupied by a large industrial warehouse and surrounded by low density terrace housing and the M62 embankment. By incorporating a relatively dense development in a high quality environment the masterplan seeks to encourage the establishment of diverse employment opportunities. The new design responds to the history of the site whilst maximising the architectural response to the brief for contemporary office, training and storage space with associated parking. The resultant masterplan delivers three buildings, which work together to form a cohesive commercial development.
