Patel Taylor

We recently conducted a Dementia design workshop with the University of Stirling's Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC). Together with our masterplanners Patel Taylor and the DSDC team, we discussed integrating dementia design principles into all aspects of placemaking within Heathbourne Green. Our approach also involves using DSDC's Environments for Ageing and Dementia Design Assessment Tool to ensure we create an inclusive and supportive environment for all residents. At Trulocom, we are committed to delivering a truly exemplar dementia friendly neighbourhood in Hertsmere for all to enjoy. Thank you Dominic Chu and Martin Quirke PhD for your expertise and input into on our evolving designs. #dementiafriendlydesign #heathbournegreen #DSCS #PatelTaylor

There are many reasons why I am proud to work for the sector, and here is one of them, great start for #2024 https://lnkd.in/eSJ3iAiY  #providingcomfortablewarmandsafehomes #makinglondonhome #regeneration #housingassociations

Happy New Year!

Great news to end the year! Cardiff Council unanimously consented Patel Taylor's proposals to refurbish, repurpose and reuse Howells, a former department store in Cardiff City Centre which is part of the collective memory of the people of Cardiff and Wales. The Phase 2 and 3 of the Howells development, which form part of a wider masterplan for the mixed use redevelopment of this landmark site in Cardiff City Centre, includes the Wharton Street frontage, Bethany Baptist Chapel and the public realm.    The 1930s building along Wharton Street, designed by Welsh architect Thomas Percy, will be refurbished, repurposed and extended to deliver a collection of apartments of different sizes, creating a new concept of city centre living. The four storey extension to the building references Percy Thomas' long journey towards modernity evident through the increasing abstraction of his later works. The new volume is expressed as an elemental contemporary lightweight structure forming a new attic storey to the existing classical base.    Bethany Baptist Chapel and its Sunday School, following recent facade reveal after half a century of being covered by post-war structures, will be refurbished and repurposed to deliver new commercial uses for Cardiff City Centre. The ground floor will be linked to the ground of Wharton Street creating a presence along the street.    Finally, structures of limited heritage significance in the centre of the site will be demolished to make way for a new public space in the heart of the site. The new square will be designed to reference the historical traces of the site and will deliver high quality public realm, with entrances from St Mary Street, Wharton Street and Trinity Street and a link into Cardiff Market. This approval is the result of the collective effort of a great team including developer Thackeray Group, planning consultant Lichfields UK, heritage specialist Purcell, engineers Hydrock and a great planning team at Cardiff Council. Proud to be part of such an amazing team and look forward to the next phase of works in the New Year.

A superb early Christmas present! The transformation of a Cardiff city centre landmark takes another leap forward! Great work by our Hydrock Cardiff team and Thackeray Group, Patel Taylor and Lichfields UK

Great news to end the year! Cardiff Council have unanimously approved the Full Planning Application and Listed Building Consent for Phase 2 & 3 of the Howells redevelopment.

What made this project… 50 & 65 Harbord Square by Patel Taylor - Building Design. https://lnkd.in/ee3fUYDk

Last week our project Pierhead Street received planning approval. This is our first planning success in Cardiff.   Patel Taylor were invited in 2022 by Cardiff Sixth Form College to work in collaboration with local architects EXPEDITE to develop designs for their new boarding accommodation building in Cardiff Bay.   Pierhead Street is one of two sites being developed in Cardiff Bay for the new campus of Cardiff Sixth Form College. The project will deliver accommodation for 400 students in a building of 10 and 18 storeys with communal indoor and outdoor areas, lounges and other amenities. The design consists of a building over podium that delivers active frontages to Pierhead Street.   The architecture takes its cue from Cardiff Bay and the Grade I listed Pierhead Building, glass volume and red brick screens tie the scheme into the context and contribute to placemaking by creating a welcoming active frontage.   #cardiff #studenthousing #wales #placemaking #urbandesign #architecture #collaboration #bricks #materials #activefrontages #cardiffbay #localcontext

Last week, Stonebridge Place received planning permission from the London Borough of Brent. Stonebridge Place is an ambitious mixed-use development that aspires to create a new arrival place for Stonebridge, all while combining a hierarchy of public spaces, create employment opportunities and provide quality homes for all. The first phase of development involved a Permitted Development conversion of the existing 1963 Wembley Point building into residential use. Within this retrofit approach, the facade was redesigned to improve comfort, energy usage and external appearance. WEM Tower, a residential building designed by Patel Taylor and managed by Canada Israel, has proven to be a success with a 99.8% occupancy rate. The second phase of development, which was recently granted planning permission, will provide 515 homes, 25% of which are affordable. The development consists of three distinct buildings, with a 32-storey centrepiece tower finished in terracotta. Upon its completion in 2027, the tower will become the tallest building in Brent and will redefine the skyline. Stonebridge Place will improve local connectivity by opening up an ‘island site’ and creating a network of open spaces linking up Stonebridge Park station to Harrow Road and Monks Park. Over 50% of the site will be dedicated to public open space, creating a place for the local community to flourish, providing play opportunities for all ages, and introducing new dedicated cycle lanes. It has been a pleasure leading the design team to deliver the vision of Canada Israel and Avanton. The approval is testimony to the hard work and dedication of a multi-disciplinary team over four years.
