University work from Chapman Taylor Bristol apprentice Jacinta Barham
We are particularly delighted to receive recognition for our training and apprenticeship initiatives. We believe that harnessing and developing talent in younger architects and designers is the key to both our company’s future success and to ensuring that high design standards are passed on for the benefit of future generations.
Chapman Taylor is involved in the RIBA Student Mentoring Scheme, which is offered to undergraduates as practical preparation and help for their career and personal development. Its purpose is to give students an insight into practice and to enhance their learning experience. Our Bristol studio is also becoming involved with the RIBA Apprentice Scheme, which offers a more flexible, alternative route to qualification for Part I graduates, who can study part-time while working at a practice rather than returning to university full-time to study for a master’s degree (Part II). Meanwhile, our in-house Executive Groups run Student Support Groups for colleagues studying for RIBA Part III exams and we run ongoing knowledge-sharing and continuing professional development schemes throughout the year, open to everyone across all our studios.
The Bristol studio regularly attends the annual UWE Degree Show, with studio team members acting as judges in various categories and presenting awards to the best undergraduates’ and graduates’ projects.
The 26-storey Build-to-Rent Castle Park View includes 375 new homes
The 29,900m2 Castle Park View regeneration scheme will provide high-quality one, two and three-bedroom homes on the site of a former ambulance station. Once complete, the scheme will deliver 375 crucially needed homes to Bristol city centre, with 75 of these being affordable apartments. The landmark, 26-storey residential tower is on track for completion in 2022.
Chapman Taylor, acting for Linkcity, was responsible for the architectural design of Castle Park View, and we are now working with Bouygues UK on the construction phase and interior design, which is scheduled to complete in 2022. The high-quality housing scheme is being delivered in collaboration with M&G Real Estate, Homes England, Bristol City Council and Abri Group (formerly Yarlington Housing Group).
