Redevelopment of the Quayside area of Ipswich. Introducing a new public square and public routes through the site. A twelve storey apartment tower forms one front of the square and faces the existing Customs House. A mix of buildings and building types, (Tudor Barn, 1930's John Slater building) create a varied and lively addition, extending the urban grain from the old town centre. In total, 212 units, retail and university uses comprise this proposed 35m development. Planning was achieved in 2007. Positioned between the Ipswich Quay and the only remaining Medieval Port area in Britain our scheme connects this stranded island to the old Town. A public route lined with a mix of buildings – hotels, apartments, shops, Medieval buildings, new buildings, converted building - traverses the site. This route connects to a tree-lined public square addressing the Old Customs House also bordered by restaurants and shops. A 14 storey residential tower is a marker for the square having views of the waterside. By respecting the history of the site – tracing ancient pathways, place making for the Jewish Burial Ground, remodeling the listed 1930 John + Slater buildings, upgrading the Grade 1 listed Tudor barn for public use – the past forms a structure for the future.
