Mixed Use, Castlegate

This project is an assessment of the term ‘mixed use’ and its implications for planning and regeneration policy. This proposal for a remodelled city block in Castlegate aims to develop a new sustainable and design driven definition of ‘hybrid’ buildings. The project includes the repair and reuse of the historic Castle House as an event space and the building of new blocks of co-housing, retail, public gardens and communal facilities. The project aims to set the agenda for a more user-led approach to city development.
