Horizon STATUS -  
Planned (No Dates Set)

A new 24 storey apartment and mixed use development for Plymouth’s city centre. The redevelopment of this prominent site provides a proposal that will make a bold and dramatic contribution to the urban scale of the city centre.

Located on a prominent location, between the University, train station and retail centre of Plymouth, this project aims to provide high quality student accommodation.

Due to the constrained site are the decision was made to build vertically over a total of 24 storeys. This was an approach embraced by the City Council who were keen to see a high quality landmark building on this site, forming a gateway to the retail centre. To create an active street frontage the lowest storeys have been designed to house retail outlets, most likely cafe or restaurant establishments. The residential element contains a tower and two ‘wings’ of accommodation enclosing a central top-lit atrium the base of which is a communal residential space.

The reinforced concrete frame and off site manufactured kitchen / bathroom pods have been designed for speed of construction and longerity. The utilised cladding system also aids in reducing on-site construction and increases building quality.

The building design and construction had to deal with acoustic issues, being close to a main road, and severe exposure conditions, achieved through high quality materials and careful facade design. The building also employs high levels of sustainability through embodied mass, centralised servicing, off site construction, inclusive amenity space, high levels of natural daylight and low energy services and systems. Once constructed the building should provide accommodation in the heart of the city for nearly 400 students close to the University and all major facilities.

PCAD NEW LOOK
The new look black and white exterior will improve the appearance of the building, in keeping with the College’s new branding.


Principal, Lynne Staley-Brookes said: “We’re extremely excited about the new design and hope everyone agrees that the outside will now reflect the excellent facilities and creative environment we have inside the building.”
As well as replacing the old PCAD sign with the new logo, the studio theatre will be encased in metal and lit from behind; illuminating the building and skyline dramatically at night.


The front will be extended to create a larger Information Point and gallery. The Gallery will now be considerably larger, and offer high quality and multi-purpose exhibition space. This will tie in a new name and re-launch of the gallery.
Information Point will be revamped too, with a dynamic visual impact and welcoming area for the public, visitors and students.
 An extensive green and landscaped frontage will replace the existing front car park, giving space for students, staff and the public to meet, sit, and display external sculptures for example.
Materials used in the build, along with replacement windows have been chosen to improve the building’s sustainability and environmental impact.
During the works period, alternative entrances will be used at the rear and side of the building and new signage will make access as easy as possible.
