7 Urban Regeneration Portfolio Stephen GEorge & Partners LLP Introduction. Urban Regeneration Portfolio Introduction Stephen George & Partners has extensive experience of the masterplanning, design and delivery of mixed-use developments. Our schemes have ranged widely in size, composition and style; each a resolution of their unique site, brief and local planning policy. In each instance, the masterplan down to the detail design is considered as part of its wider context, both culturally and commercially. Often working on complex and diverse sites, we combine strong design skills with commercial realism to produce coherent, deliverable and sustainable strategies. We work closely with clients, planners, contractors and other stakeholders to ensure that each proposal provides an optimum solution; a solution that more than satisfies user requirements and statutory regulations, whilst also enhancing and contributing to the public realm. Many of our schemes have represented the centre or high street of development in a wider context; here we strive to develop focus and identity, resolving community and sense of place.

31 Urban Regeneration Portfolio Stephen GEorge & Partners LLP peugeot Citroën automobiles UK ltd. Coventry. warwickshire Peugeot Citroën Automobiles UK Ltd Coventry, Warwickshire Stephen George & Partners was delighted to be appointed masterplan architect for the redevelopment of Peugeot Citroën s operations in Coventry. This extensive 35 ha (85 acre) site will become the hub of what is hoped will be a catalyst for change along the important east west link through Coventry city. The new Peugeot Citroën facilities are landmarks for the area and include a 12,450 sqm (134,000 sqft) headquarters, 5,575 sqm (60,000 sqft) technical and service training centre and 2.44 ha (6.2 acre) sports facility, including pitches and gymnasium. The new headquarters employs pure sculptural geometric forms and extensive use of glazed elements, allowing the penetration of natural light directly into the entrance plaza. Motorised external blinds reduce the glare and are controlled by external sensors that respond to the path of the sun. The plaza forms the base of a spine that runs through the building, leading through to a winter garden. A strong north south axis stretches from the headquarters, through the heart of the central commercial core, to a key multistorey development at the northern end of the site. It is hoped that the development of this scheme will help the regeneration of the surrounding areas and bring a positive new energy to the local community. 31

33 Urban Regeneration Portfolio Stephen GEorge & Partners LLP Waterfront City. Liverpool. MERSEYSIDE Waterfront City, Liverpool, Merseyside Stephen George & Partners won Mersey Docks Harbour Board competition to masterplan a major, mixed-use urban village in Liverpool s Victoria Docks. This is part of a World Heritage Site which includes the famous Liver Building. Parking proved to be a major issue in this high-density urban area. We came up with an ingenious solution. Our plans involved draining the old dock, concealing a multistorey car park in its depths and then forming a shallow lid of water over the car park to retain the appearance of the original dock. This innovative design included plans for buildings - hotels and a casino - appearing to rise up out of the docks. 33
