We recognise the importance of creating sustainable neighbourhoods in our major towns and cities. Our approach to placemaking draws on a respect for historic context to defjne a sense of place while introducing contemporary design at a new scale to address current and future needs. We believe in creating great communities and this requires design excellence overlaid with thorough local knowledge and understanding of people and
- place. Each site is very different and we seek to embed
new developments into communities to reinforce and strengthen them with a series of positive new streets and spaces. These public spaces – internal and external – are where people, young and old and from all walks of life: shape communities make connections, defjne character enjoy comfort, share commodities and take part in celebration. We create and recreate bespoke and imaginative places where people can thrive and communities can grow.

A genuinely mixed use development, with the new school at its centre, the residential development will be complemented by cafés/ restaurants and small amount of retail use but also space for the new and existing businesses to re-establish the area as a thriving working community.
Battersea Exchange, London
Battersea Exchange is a residential led mixed-use redevelopment on a site of 1.8 hectares, which will consist of 290 new residential units (20% affordable), a new 2 form entry primary school and around 3475m2 of commercial space; all organised around a new pedestrian friendly public realm network, a new street links Battersea Park and Queenstown Road railway stations together,- pening up new routes and connections to integrate the

Temple Leeds
Temple Leeds
The new proposals for Temple Leeds refmect the spirit and ambition that brought progress and prosperity to Leeds through the pioneering entrepreneurs who shaped the city in the 18th and 19th Centuries. This 3.52 ha development respects its historic context and industrial past whilst enabling a new sustainable community to grow. The mixed-use scheme will deliver 130,000m² of accommodation, set within a backdrop of new public spaces and landscaping. The masterplan has been developed around a series of key linkages that thread the neighbourhood together. Main routes to Leeds city centre and the train station are reinforced and connections through and around the site provide a new network of pedestrian and cycle paths that weave the emerging community into the existing city. Client: CEG Location: LeedsA series of public open spaces are set within the quarter, responding in size and character to the historic and emerging context.
The landscaping ties railway infrastructure, water courses and the listed Hol Beck Bridge into new streets and squares to create a place that is both progressively and distinctly South Bank. Mill style buildings will be punctuated by taller modern ‘chimneys’ that echo the campanile towers of Tower- Works. Brick, terracotta and industrial metalwork

H2 has been designed to be energy effjcient in operation, emitting around 40% less carbon than a typical Building Regulations compliant design.
H2 will be a brand-new building offering approx. 70,000 sqft of Grade A offjce space, split across seven fmoors with south facing roof terrace, retail and food and beverage units on the ground fmoor. The development for H3 includes a large, industrial- style space, shops, a bar and restaurant, and an upper level leisure space. The existing Bethel Chapel building will also be renovated, with plans to become a live entertainment venue. The site is also home to Leah’s Yard (H1) – a Grade II* Listed building housing a collection of small former industrial workshops. There is desire to maintain the building’s Sheffjeld character by providing similar workshops for the city’s next creative generation. FCBStudios have been appointed as architect for a mixed-use leisure scheme in Sheffjeld City Centre. The complex, referred to as Block H (a wide-ranging development split into three distinct elements H1, H2 and H3, is part of Heart of the City II, one of Sheffjeld’s major current economic projects. Backed by Sheffjeld City Council, with Queensberry as its key delivery partner, it is not just a retail scheme, but a mixed-use, vibrant quarter right at the heart of the city and synonymous with everything the city is trying to achieve. Located at the very core of the city centre, it will bind together the old and the new, keeping the existing street patterns and quirky historic buildings but adding in striking new architecture and unique outdoor spaces. Rooted in the city’s unique character, Heart of the City II will provide a new home for Sheffjeld’s cultural, commercial and creative trailblazers.Carver Street Sheffield

Winetavern Development
No existing historic fabric is proposed for demolition rather, the scale and massing seeks to re-establish the historic street grain and embed historic buildings into 21st Century development and economies.
Mixed-use regeneration and development of vacant surface level car park and refurbishment of existing listed ‘Butchers’ building with erection of new mixed use buildings (heights varying between 3 - 9 storeys). The project integrates into an area once defjned by markets and a diverse retail offer. This is now one of the key development sites associated with the Belfast Inner Northwest Masterplan (2019) prepared by FCBS for Belfast City Council. The masterplan, covering 17.2 hectares in the centre of the city promotes mixed use neighbourhoods, the integration of a coordinated and high quality public realm, permeability into and across the city, and social inclusion. This development will accommodate ‘Grade A’ and SME- ffjces. The ground fmoors will provide a mix of retail and
Winetavern Development
A central ‘yard’ and the mill inspired architecture links the scheme to the history of Belfast’s industrial buildings and open spaces. The open space at the centre of the development is connected to Gresham and Winetavern streets through a series of lanes while building lobbies act as through routes between streets and open spaces.Hayle Quayside

Situated within the Devon and Cornwall Tin and Copper Mining World Heritage Site, the location is rich in history. The listed quay has been repaired and restored and its history, opened to the public, providing a signifjcant new amenity for residents and visitors. The layout proposed for the site has been developed through a thorough understanding- f the site constraints and history, discussions

Wellington Place Leeds
Wellington Place Leeds
Wellington Place occupies the site of the former Leeds Central railway station. It has been planned around a sequence of two new public spaces that will link the city centre to the riverside. These spaces will be formed around the historic relics of a railway lifting tower and a section of viaduct. The development will comprise over 300,000 square metres of sustainable community development incorporating commercial, retail and residential accommodation. As a new addition to the city’s culturally vibrant West End, Wellington Place will become a destination in its own right within the wider context of West Yorkshire’s rich heritage- f internationally renowned artists and sculptors.
The concept of Wellington Place evolved out of a desire to create a coherent and distinguishable urban quarter.
The design of signifjcant urban spaces, the emphasis of strong pedestrian connections, the massing of a dramatic plan and roof form, and the inclusion of public art aims to create something new in contemporary UK urban design.Great Eastern Quays

Client: MEPC Ltd Location: LeedsPromoting physical activity is key to combating many
- f the major health issues
in the developed world. It also helps to promote mental health and improves social interactions within
- communities. Careful
masterplanning can help integrate these healthy elements into the core of designing new communities.
The masterplan promotes healthy lifestyles through planned exercise and the incidental physical activity associated with reduced car usage. As with Accordia, this is hoped to lead to increased social interactions and sense of community within the development. The 20 hectare site outside of Leeds is planned to include 1050 houses and apartments, 300,000 sq ft of commercial space, 100,000 sq ft of retail and leisure, and a primary school. Capitalising on the natural surroundings, the masterplan retains the wooded perimeter within the site for use as an exercise trail, connects to existing woodland walks, and extends the river footpath. The scheme includes a gym, playgrounds, an open meadow, and a bridge across the railway to connect to the fjelds and canal towpath beyond.King’s Cross, London

Colindale Gardens, London
Colindale Gardens is a mixed use masterplan, combining a variety of private, and social residential units, a school and commercial space. The 19.17ha development opportunity is located close to the Colindale tube station in the London Borough of Barnet. It is the fjrst of the GLA disposal sites and is currently the main training facility for the Metropolitan Police which will relocate to a more compact facility next to the site. The project comprises an overall masterplan for approximately 3,000 residential units. A central focal avenue connects the site together linking the tube and Colindale Avenue through to Beaufort Park and the FCBStudios designed RAF Museum at Hendon. The scheme establishes a sequence of London Squares that provide a variety of places and addresses along the Avenue, culminating in Peel Park at the heart of the site. A range of building typologies characterise the scheme from two and three storey terrace houses, apartment buildings, mansion blocks onto the Park and taller residential towers that mark key public spaces. Client: Redrow Homes Location: London Borough of BarnetOur Vision for this site and the wider area is to create a community that refmects the traditional London village neighbourhood with a hierarchy of major public spaces and squares, a network of connected streets, new homes, new jobs, public realm, and community facilities set within a high quality environment.
