Park Central Zone 11
Birmingham, England
An exciting mixed-use project on a steeply sloping inner-city site. The design ethos derives a narrative of diversity and harmony, whilst creating a classic, confident tall building. The bold vertical emphasis creates presence whilst the counter-poised ‘chequer-flag’ establishes a scale reference. Together they create a tower that is ambitious yet humanist in its aspiration.
The residential sits on top of a significant retail centre with associated car-parking. The central area at podium level creates a new public garden accessed from the upper level. The entire development is conceived as a single structure, yet deliverable in phases.
