Facts

Location Client Cost Completion Awards
Lincoln, UK Wigford £14m 2007 2

Project details

Existing concrete cladding panels have been removed and the building is now entirely re-clad in high quality, low maintenance materials.

The emphasis has been on quality throughout. Detailed modelling of balconies and roof canopies have been composed to lighten the appearance of what was a dreary, monolithic structure, while shifting the unrelieved symmetry of the existing facades.

Results

  • the renewed development is playing a major role in the regeneration of the area around the Brayford Pool while re-establishing important historic links between the waterside and the High Street
