Cazenove Architect have recently submitted a limited completion entry for a work development project for Sheffield City Council.
The project is generated from the opportunities resulting from the loss of the two major employers in South Yorkshire, the coal and steel industries. Their demise has resulted in the loss of a way of life and social cohesion as well as employment. Added to this the predominantly social housing and uniform development of the Parson Cross area creates an environment that appears to lack the vivacity and creativity for which Sheffield is known. However the local community and Sheffield City Council with partners have recognised the opportunities in Parson Cross; a spirit of enterprise and innovation, and a vivid sense of place which our project will help uncover and develop. The Works will develop the opportunities of the brief, the site and the community.

The design creates a central courtyard framed by two key buildings, the Boomerang to the north and the Ship to the south. These accommodate workshops and offices on the ground and first floor and prefabricated artists garrets on the roof deck. At the centre and focal point of the courtyard is the heart of the project, the Drum, a cafe meeting place for the workers and wider community, designed to encourage social and commercial synergy.
Behind the boomerang building is the Mews, a gated service road with parking and workshop access. The heart of the development is both visible and permeable to the local community, encouraging pedestrian access and engagement from Margeston Crescent.
The main gateway to The Works from Knutton Road is framed by a large workshop and the old library building which is retained, adapted and extended to provide community business services and a large open plan managed workspace.
The ship building rises to a prow at the entrance west end of the courtyard supporting a Silent Revolution wind turbine, suppling renewable power to the project; a visible landmark from near and far signifying the creative energy unleashed at The Works.

BIG LOTTERY WIN Cazenove is part of the winning team that has secured millions of pounds for regeneration of central Cornwall.
The Heartlands Park is the only English project to receive the Living Landmark funding of £22M, announced last week. The project to regenerate one of the country's most derelict urban areas was chosen after fierce competition from a shortlist of 23 schemes around the country.
The Heartlands Project, a community led vision headed by Kerrier Council, will act as a catalyst for the wider regeneration of the Camborne-Pool- Redruth area.
The architectural team, Cazenove Architects, Dransfield Owens de Silva, and Jonathan Rhind Architects have designed a series of contemporary buildings directly complimenting the Grade 2* listed Robinson's Shaft complex which will also be restored to house the World Heritage Site exhibition. This will include community and educational buildings, artist studios, business units, restaurants and apartments at the centre of an inspirational park, designed by Land Use Consultants. The park will have formal gardens, exciting play spaces, performance spaces for events for 4000 people and new cycle links to local trails with stunning new public art and a range of water features. Kerrier Council's own landscape architects have designed new public spaces for the village including a new village green.

Quotes
Jonathan Dransfield - Dransfield Owens de Silva
"It's a very exiting scheme with sustainability at its heart. It will be England's first zero-carbon mixed-use regeneration project"
Louise Goodison director Cazenove Architects said that she and her team are excited to be working on the project in collaboration with Dransfield Owens de Silva Architects and Kerrier District Council.
"Over the last year we have worked extensively with the local community in the Pool area of Cornwall, and developed designs for an inspirational neighbourhood with a strong sense of place, featuring new and old buildings in a sustainable and innovative setting.
The project is a worthy winner and we look forward to getting it built"
|
Jonathan Rhind conservation architect
"this project is particularly interesting in conservation terms as many of the existing buildings and the mining machinery in them are particularly vulnerable having been heavily vandalised over recent years and in urgent need of repair. The ideas for regeneration will allow them to be seen in a new light, forged by the technology of the past and pointing to the technology of the future"

| Louise Goodison has been made a Clients Design Advisor by the RIBA.
RIBA Client Design Advisors (CDAs) guide clients through the process of commissioning buildings, helping them to maximise the value and quality of their projects.
The CDA is a RIBA-accredited role intended to meet the need for independent advice among public sector client groups such as the NHS, Partnerships for Schools and local authorities. Public bodies such as the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) and Office for Government Commerce (OGC) have pressed for its introduction as a means of increasing the long-term value of public sector projects to society and the environment.
The RIBA assessors were impressed by Louise's experience in education and community buildings, her approach to working with people and her good quality design.

Centre will provide a fifty place full-time nursery alongside crèche
and drop-off facilities created to complement the training and community
activities that are central to the Government’s Sure Start

spaces that celebrate the community uses being housed. The dark
colour of the elevations is designed to create a backdrop to the
colourful activities played inside and outside the building.

building for the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority. The new building will be
sited in a formal relationship to Myddelton House, a Georgian mansion

body over a two year period to develop the designs to meet the exceptional
circumstances required for such a development in the London Green Belt.
The design is for a simple
sustainable timber pavilion, responding dramatically to the surrounding
landscape and adjacent buildings. The project is due for completion
in March 2006.
Cazenove has also been commissioned by the Lee Valley
Regional Park Authority to develop the Conservation Management Plan
for the Myddelton House Estate.
