Big News! 🎉⁠ ⁠ We’ve won Capital & Centric’s competition for St Georges Wolverhampton!⁠ ⁠ Working with our friends Mikhail Riches we’re excited to be co-masterplanning the repair of this historic city district. We’ll also be looking after the design of a glorious new city park, a network of new public spaces and the remaking of several historic streets. While we’re doing that Mikhail Riches will be busy adapting the former Sainsburys building into high performance new homes while other parts of the site will host family housing at a variety of scales. The eponymous church will be re-proposed into community and work spaces surrounded by independent businesses at the heart of the scheme. ⁠ ⁠ Active travel focussed, super green (and blue) infrastructure, extremely high performance, low embodied energy buildings, places to work and play…..you want to see regenerative urban planning at a scale up from our work on The Phoenix, this is it. Watch this space (and our channels)! Roll on pre-app!⁠ ⁠ Capital & Centric (C&C) are a Social Impact developer who retain and operate their sites for the long term. In 2017 C&C co-founded the @regenbrainery, a mentoring programme designed to inspire young people from disadvantaged and diverse backgrounds, so the places we create are better, richer and more reflective of the society we live in. ⁠ ⁠ Find out more, link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Capital&Centric RIBA Architects’ Journal ⁠ #periscope_uk⁠ #urbandesign #urbanenvironment #builtenvironment #urbanplanning #placemaking #urbanism #housing #architecture #density #scale #landscapearchitecture #citiesforpeople⁠ #urbanspaces #greenspaces #greeninfrastructure #blueinfrastructure #ecology #biodiversity #water #flood #suds #infrastructure #culturallandscape #citynature #natureinthecity #landscape ⁠#wolverhampton⁠

We've published our B-Corp Impact Report covering the last two years, it can be downloaded via the link in our bio. ⁠ The B-Corp framework requires continuous monitoring and improvement, this report includes actions we've taken over the five B Impact areas together with supporting case studies and where we're heading next.⁠ ⁠ Report compiled by Ellen Hägerdal, Daniel Rea & Sandy Rompotiyoke.⁠ ⁠ If you have any comments or questions please do get in touch we're always happy to discuss and debate! ⁠ #periscopeuk⁠ #bcorp #socialchange #environmentpositive #fairwages B Lab UK

Lots of people have asked, so we’ve published our report into our four-day week trial. You can find out more and download it via the link below. https://lnkd.in/eqytiNpv

The Gurnell Leisure Centre & Parklands in Ealing Council (London Borough of Ealing) has been submitted for planning approval. Periscope has led the design of the enhanced parkland which includes climate-resilient plantings, significant biodiversity enhancements, a new urban woodland, river and surface water attenuation components together with new play areas, a new skatepark and pump track.⁠ ⁠ Collage in digital media by Rebecca Faulkner, photograph by Daniel Rea.⁠ ⁠ The project is a collaboration with Mikhail Riches, GT3 Architects, Expedition Engineering Ltd, and Gleeds.

The Co-Mobility Hub at The Phoenix is the largest and most comprehensive mobility building proposal currently consented in the UK. ⁠ ⁠ The Phoenix’s streets and plots will be essentially car free with controlled access for maintenance, emergency and accessibility requirements. The CoMo Hub facilitates this by collecting all private residential car parking into a building at the edge of the site, it also provides some public parking to replace that removed to make way for homes, jobs and public spaces.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ The building will contain mobility services including offering electric cars, e-scooters, e-bikes and e-cargo bikes plus a last mile delivery service reducing the need for frequent delivery van access to the site.⁠ ⁠ Find out more, link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Image in pen and ink by Mark Smith.⁠ ⁠ #periscopeuk ⁠ #architecture #urbandesign #urbanenvironment #citiesforpeople #urbanspaces #builtenvironment #urbanplanning #placemaking #urbanism #car #carfree #como #mobility #activetravel #phoenixproject⁠

At 685 new homes, The Phoenix unlocks one of the largest housing allocation sites in the South Downs National Park. Importantly the tenure mix will include over 200 affordable homes of which 92 will be Lewes Low-Cost Affordable Rent (linked to median income not the market).⁠ ⁠ The masterplan's plot ratio is similar to the local plan reference scheme and is equivalent to the existing town centre. The scale of the project’s edges has been carefully modulated to address the existing context including the Conservation Area(s) and The Pells.⁠ ⁠ Seen from Wiley’s Bridge, this image shows the varied waterfront character with @ashsakulaarchitects’s Parcel 1 buildings in the foreground and one of the larger courtyard blocks to the mid-ground towards the left of the image. ⁠ ⁠ Find out more about the masterplan, link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Image by Periscope for Human Nature, Phase 1 Architecture by Ash Sakula Architects.

Following major flooding on The Phoenix site in 2000 the remaining businesses vacated, property values decreased and artists + start-ups moved in. This community is part of the Lewes's living cultural heritage, those who wish to remain will be rehoused as rehabilitation of the site moves forward.⁠ ⁠ Foundry Workshop and Every Hall are two retained structures associated with the historic ironworks. Periscope has explored opportunities for their adaptive re-use in collaboration with Human Nature and some of the former Phoenix Rising team.⁠ ⁠ Find out more, link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Image 1 in digital media by Rebecca Faulkner.
