Information about this winner

Sitting between a square and a street, this scheme re-establishes a physical and visual connection between the two, and creates a third space. The new hard landscaping provides seating, a water feature and a cascade. The scheme opens up an old Roman thoroughfare, and brings the cityscape to ground level, whilst making connections across the wider site. This new scheme has made a contribution to the area, and relieves congestion with its generous ground floor public spaces.
