Project Site - Dipun

Hi All,

My Project update:

Site Location Plan

This area lies to the West of Frog Island in Leicester.





Qualities of this area are under-appreciated. Many of the buildings are becoming vacant after industrial decline, and they are being demolished for developments that don't necessarily reflect the essence of this place (not that the existing buildings do either).

View of the site building from the street in the direction towards the river.

My programme intends to attempt to use as much of the existing building as possible, but with some necessary removal, alterations, and 2,000sqm of new built fabric in accordance with the brief (tbc).

This project will hope to set an example for all buildings of this type and this area, as opposed to only listed buildings being retained and re-activated.

Cheers
