Repurposing & Reuse

The industry is in transition; the evolution in the way we live and work has arguably seen even bigger changes in the way we shop. Retail reflects society and we are a society in the midst of a revolution.

Whether that is about technology, convenience, utilising surrounding space to work harder, improving the quality of the space and tenants, expanding upwards to maximise potential, understanding the customer focus or by looking to provide an experience by introducing other uses over and above the typical. Is there an opportunity for community space, hotels, residential use, theatres, pop-ups or other innovations?

Every part of our lives has been transformed, the way we live, the way we work and the way we shop bear no resemblance to what our parents experienced just one generation ago.

Maximise asset potential for maximumreturn.

Embrace technology whilst re-imaginingand re-purposing the shopping centre ofpast to be relevant for todays customer.

THE GREENHOUSE – HOSIER ST

The brief - to design a remarkable new building for Reading Town Centre that will be a significant landmark and amazing resource for the local community.

It will be an open plan, low carbon environment, focused on renewable energy sources. It will provide an arena for numerous activities all enclosed by a transparent skin to give a wind and weather tight envelope; within which modular elements maybe inserted offering retail units, food and beverage outlets, and exhibition opportunities. It may evolve in to a performance space in the lower areas or banqueting hall on the upper terrace.

Drawing in the landscape to the spaces to offer a Palm house where the internal and external are indistinguishable and where we will be educated, entertained and enthralled.

MAKE SITES WORK HARDER

MAKE SITES WORK HARDER

A major high street retailer trades 40,000 sq. feet in the basement and ground floors in a five storey high street building with a nett area of 155,000 sq. feet on a freehold site including a large carpark and hard standing adjacent to a large public carpark. The upper floors are used as storage, under-utilised and largely vacant.

We presented the following:

Firstly we emphasised our proposal would not affect retail trading. We presented a plan to consolidate back of house storage and staff areas to one floor, leaving the 2, 3 and 4th floors vacant. We presented a plan to build two more floors on top of the existing floor plate. This created the opportunity to build 58 apartments within the existing building.

Externally there was potential space for further residential development. We approached the Planners and opened discussions on creating another 2 levels of parking on council owned land which would assist with chronic parking problems within the city centre and provide ample off street parking for the development. The gain for our site was the release of enough land on the perimeter to build a high rise new build residential block.

Within a period of weeks we presented a fully costed feasibility study to our client offering the potential to create 58, 1 and 2 bed apartments and a further 48 new build 2 bed apartments in a separate new build block. Loading and access was maintained to the retail store and separate access arrangements provided for the residential elements.

Budget costs for the whole project were presented as part of the proposal alongside an outline programme.

BRIXTON: MAJOR HIGH STREET RETAILER

We provided a full cost analysis for the entire feasibility study alongside a total projected income from the sale of the apartments. We were able to prove to the client that the sale of the apartments would provide a level of profit which would pay for the full retail upgrade and provide a very healthy additional profit.

We demonstrated the site had the capability to work much harder through partial redevelopment - all to be undertaken with no loss of retail trading
