UK-based Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) is redeveloping a former diesel depot in southwest England into a mixed-use development called Bristol Temple Island.
The project, designed for property investor Legal and General, is part of a wider regeneration masterplan in Bristol called Bristol Temple Quarter. A planning application has been submitted for the project, which will feature two office buildings, retail space, a hotel, and 520 homes โ 40 per cent of which will be designed for social and affordable rent.
Designed in collaboration with landscape architecture studio LDA Design, the development prioritizes space for pedestrian and cycle paths while minimizing infrastructure for cars.
“Legal and General seeks to deliver precisely targeted investment through a place-based approach to creating transformative mixed-use communities,” said Ben Rodgers, Head of Regeneration at Legal and General.
“We are excited by the opportunity to regenerate Temple Island, revitalising the urban landscape and providing the key infrastructure that businesses, universities, and the public sector need to thrive alongside much-needed housing for the local population in Bristol,” Rodgers added.
