What if...?
...there were many different uses in the area alongside homes, such as creative workshops, workspace, leisure uses and a cultural hub?
The Challenge:
A crucial part of making Western Harbour a great place will be identifying additional uses to support the new homes.
The area already benefits greatly from the Riverside Garden Centre and the skate park and we are exploring where they can be accommodated in the new masterplan.
In addition to this the proposals would include a cultural hub for the city, affordable workspace for businesses and social enterprises, food, drink, and leisure uses.
For the masterplan we will need to:
- review existing community and commercial spaces
- consider active ground floor uses
- consider overlapping and shared uses within buildings
- introduce meanwhile uses to bring the site to life now and during construction
- continue to work closely with the Riverside Garden Centre to understand their needs
