An award-winning urban regeneration scheme
This multi-award-winning, integrated urban regeneration mixed-use scheme in the heart of Bristol has realised the first light-weight grid shell roof structure in the UK which provides cover to this multi-level naturally ventilated development*.
A BREEAM 1st for the UK
Cabot Circus was the first retail-led development in the UK to achieve the highest BREEAM rating of Excellent. This development is respected internationally receiving many visits from the development industry worldwide.
Residential units a key component of the masterplan
260 residential units form a core component of the masterplan and scheme.
Regeneration in a heritage sensitive site
The site's heritage, being a burial ground and a scheduled ancient monument, has been retained and forms the focus for a new public space - Quakers Friars.
Additionally, we created a network of safe welcoming streets to attract people back into the city centre from out-of-town retail parks but with reduced traffic impact.
As masterplanners for the whole development and designers for the retail and leisure elements of Cabot Circus, Chapman Taylor introduced new buildings, open streets and appropriately proportioned squares that sit naturally within the city’s established urban scale.
*We worked closely with leading artist, Nayan Kulkarni, and consulting engineers, Schlaich Bergermann und Partner, to produce one of the scheme's most dramatic elements - a free-form, shell-shaped glass roof, the first of its kind in the UK.
Nick joined Chapman Taylor’s London studio in 1999 and worked on the award-winning Princesshay, Exeter scheme before joining the UK concept design team.
He was jointly responsible for establishing Chapman Taylor’s Bristol studio in 2013 and as a UK Board Director is now responsible for the ongoing development and management of this part of the UK business. Nick also leads Chapman Taylor’s Sustainability Group responsible for researching best-practice environmental design initiatives and innovation.
He has 20 years’ experience spanning all project stages.
