2020 Favourites: Southmead Co-Housing

Having worked for Southmead Development Trust on three previous occasions (youth club refurbishment feasibility, 90kW PV installation on the Greenway Centre and the early stages of the Glencoyne Square development), I was really pleased to join up with a multi- disciplinary team of construction and housing consultants to prepare a long-term masterplan for their north Bristol site. This commission draws on the 30 years plus of experience in supporting clients similar to Southmead Development Trust and including sports facility design, integration of specialist housing and small scale business space provision. Having completed a high-level Stage 1 Options Appraisal the team have now been asked to develop the Stage 2 Masterplan
