Masterplanning & Urban Design
Slide 3: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN Masterplanning & Urban Design When looking ahead, whether for 3 or for 30 years, a well-planned site must be flexible and adaptable, and ready for the future. Developing or regenerating is about building a long-term future and creating a place where people come first. That is why HKR’s approach to masterplanning and urban design focuses on creating environments where people can live and work in a safe, integrated community. With the help of this agenda, and by applying HKR’s design principles, we provide our clients with the means to create sustainable urban environments.
Slide 4: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN Our Masterplanning Process HKR's masterplanning team creates designs that address the social and economic requirements of a site’s location. We do this by first undertaking a detailed contextual and socio-economic appraisal of the site, then planning workable strategies for: Urban Design projects are often highly complex. At HKR we begin by defining a clear and comprehensive agenda that covers all the critical factors for analysis and implementation, including: HKR’s approach to masterplanning and urban design focuses on creating environments where people can live and work in a safe, integrated community. › › › › Land use Transport Planning—both existing and aspirational Development—with clear parameters for phasing and implementation › › › › › › › › › › › Prospective land use Urban character Structure and grain Density and mix Scale, height and massing Continuity and enclosure Sustainability Adaptability and diversity Landscaping Open space and amenities Details and materials
Slide 5: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN Our Approach to Urbanism HKR's philosophy is about delivering design: › › › › rooted in context a scaled response space positive design loosefit flexibility and in the end, about the people.
Slide 6: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN rooted in context... Architecture in context is a strong and eloquent visual relationship to its surroundings. Individual buildings must always be seen as a part of the whole. Creating places and spaces that enrich the lives of the people who use them is the foundation of Urban Design. Every building can and should engage in a dialog with the history, beliefs and needs of a particular place and time. Recognition, memory, choice, sharing with others, the acquisition of significance; all these contribute to the process of successful Masterplanning. Every project needs to be perceived as part of implementing an urban design project which entails gathering insights into urban fabric. HKR's role as urban designers is to work on many scales, thoughtfully designing public places and spaces, and to build on the unique local character and the best qualities of the forms inherent in that geographic region.
Slide 7: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN a scaled response... People interact with their environment based on their physical dimensions, capabilities and limits. Buildings scaled to human physical capabilities have steps, doorways, railings, work surfaces, seating, walking distances, and other features that fit well to the average person. People also interact with their environments based on their sensory capabilities. The human perception is not purely a physical act, it is affected by cultural factors, personal preferences, experiences, and expectations. At HKR we understand that scale in architecture should always respond to human requirements and benefit the people who are living there.
Slide 8: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN loosefit flexibility... Relative risk RELATIVE LIFESPAN › › › art should be risky architecture — adventurous masterplanning — conservative FURNITURE DECORATIONS WINDOWS & DOORS Many of us are living off the forward thinking of the 19th century designers. Infrastructure built robustly and conservatively can and should be generous. This is the framework that all development hangs on and is pivotal to HKR's masterplanning and urban design. If the network of urban space is created to allow for the current use rather than designed exclusively to the current use then the adaptability of that framework is greatly increased. This maximises its sustainability. STRUCTURE STREET CITY
Slide 9: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 space positive design... The bane of most cities is leftover space, which is often the instigator of social troubles. Space has to be programmed and designed.

Slide 11: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 Smithfield Market 02 Smithfield Market provides 1.3 million sq ft of mixed use space and represents one of Ireland’s largest urban redevelopment projects. The 4.5 acre development in Dublin was completed in 2005. Smithfield Market now provides a new urban quarter in this historic part of Dublin city. The mixed use scheme includes: › › › › › › › › › › › › 78,600 sq ft offices 500 apartments 65,000 sq ft conference and exhibition facilities 57,000 sq ft retail 32,000 sq ft cultural centre and cinema 28,000 sq ft gym and leisure centre 13,000 sq ft food market and restaurants 93-bed hotel 40-bed Old Soldier’s Retirement Home 6,000 sq ft Medical Diagnostic Centre 5,000 sq ft crèche 900 basement car spaces 01 Smithfield Market, detail of tower 02 Smithfield Market, Market Square
Slide 12: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN Design Process In the design process, the scale of the new buildings at Smithfield were carefully considered. This was to provide both an appropriate urban massing for this area of the city centre as well as providing a balance between the heights of the new buildings and the size of the historic market place. 03 04 Finishes The hard landscaping at ground level in public areas contrasts strongly with the rooftop gardens. The rooftop gardens are provided for the benefit of residents, an important social space often denied to apartment residents. Materials of the highest quality were specified in the development and include Jura limestone, high quality facing brick, structural glazing and copper and zinc panelling. Urban Regeneration All buildings have been carefully considered to form a new and appropriate urban grain which will continue to act as a model for urban regeneration in Dublin and provide a major catalyst for the continued regeneration of the greater Smithfield and HARP area. The new buildings form a strong edge to the square which are punctured by new routes for pedestrians that are carved out of the old urban block. 01 02 03 Residential Entrances Cultural Offices Retail Hotel Pub Medical Old Soldiers Home Crèche A cultural centre, medical centre, offices, restaurants, retail, apartments and hotel together provide a new urban quarter in this historic part of Dublin city. 01 Smithfield Market, linkage plan 02 Smithfield Market, floor plan 03 Aerial view
Slide 13: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 2 01 The Northern Quarter 02 The Northern Quarter is a prime retailled mixed use development anchored by Arnotts Department Store in the heart of the retail core area of Dublin city centre. The 1.5 million sq ft development will provide an integrated mix of retail, residential, leisure and hotel facilities. The site extends to 5.6 acres and links O’Connell Street to the east, Henry Street to the north, Upper Liffey Street to the east and Middle Abbey Street to the south. Contemporary in design and providing a sense of place, the transformed and pedestrianised Prince’s Street leads into the newly created Abbey Square. The current Arnotts Department Store will be demolished and replaced with a new 320,000 sq ft state-of-the-art store, trading over six levels. A decision to grant planning permission was made by Dublin City Council in 2007 and construction is due to commence in 2008 with completion in 2012. The Northern Quarter will be an open street development arranged as individual city blocks each with its own architecture and identity. 01 View from O'Connell Street 02 Aerial view of Abbey Square

Slide 16: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 St James' Dock 02 HKR has designed a mixed use scheme of 670,000 sq ft for this 3.2 acre site, incorporating offices, residential, medical and retail accommodation. This site at St James’ Dock is located in Dublin 8, within walking distance of the city centre. The importance of the site today is concealed beneath low-grade industrial building stock. It is zoned for mixed use in the Dublin City Development Plan of which offices, retail and residential will be the predominant uses, to facilitate employment and residential activity in the area. 01 Detail of masterplan 02 View of proposed public square
Slide 17: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN The original Grand Canal Harbour configuration is the key to developing this site. 01 The design of the scheme proposes a ground plane informed by the original harbour where buildings appear to float above or rise from the bodies of water. This layering of contemporary design over the historic footprint of the harbour will create a dynamitic public domain with a powerful sense of place that can become a focus for this new quarter. 06 02 03 04 05 01 Historical map 02 DCC Scheme: Similar to original basin 03 "Developer's Option": Minimal water 04 Flood the Site: Float the buildings 05 HKR's Proposal: Reinstate the original basin 06 Masterplan with routes
Slide 18: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 The Digital Hub 02 05 The Digital Hub is a Government backed initiative set up to attract and develop a global digital centre within the city of Dublin, which will be home for digital media and innovation companies. There are at present over 50 such companies on the site, which previously formed part of the Guinness St James’ Gate Brewery. The aim of The Digital Hub Development Agency is to provide additional office accommodation in the region of 75,000 sq ft. The proposed plans for the balance of the site consist of nearly 300 apartments, an additional 140,000 sq ft of offices, shops, bars and a shop-front showcase for The Digital Hub to be known as 'Digital Underground'. As part of HKR’s design, several late 18th and early 19th century industrial buildings will be retained and reused including the largest surviving Smock Windmill in Europe. Commercial units on lower levels will be combined with Digital Hub offices and apartments overhead to allow a mix of uses in every part of this 3.2 acre city block. At the heart of the design is the monumental brick Windmill which will form an entrance to the Digital Underground space, with taller elements including a 16 storey office building being the most prominent point of reference. 03 01 Model 02 Privacy boundaries 03 Sequences 04 Urban space 05 Masterplan 04
Slide 19: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 Rohansky Ostrov 02 Sekyra Group, one of the largest developers in Central Europe, commissioned HKR to design a masterplan in support of their bid for this prime city centre site along the river in Prague. HKR’s proposed design was the winning bid. The masterplan delivers almost 4 million sq ft of prime city centre development, rehabilitating two existing neighbourhoods and adding a third. These are all centred on a new riverfront park for the city. Housing is being created for the young executives that will work in the new office buildings, with significant attention been given to the provision of amenities for the young and old. This will help stem the tide of a suburban exodus with a viable alternative for family living. Sitting alongside the new park of Zeleny Ostrov are the existing communities of Karlin, Invalidovna and Liben. None of these communities have a direct relationship to the new park without this masterplan. 01 Masterplan 02 Aerial of site

Slide 21: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN The new neighbourhood is anchored by a retail highstreet that reaches from the metro to the park, with a view up the river to the castle. Sitting along side the new park of Zeleny Ostrov are the existing communities of Karlin, Invalidovna and Liben. None of these communities have a direct relationship to the new park without this masterplan. Instead of trying to create a new place and a new identity, we aim to be more sustainable by using and improving on the identity of the existing communities.

Slide 22: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 Arcadia Centre HKR was appointed by Glenkerrin UK to redesign the Arcadia Shopping Centre, a 4.2 acre site at Ealing Broadway in West London. The development will create a new mixed use development consisting of retail, residential, leisure and commercial in the town centre of Ealing with significant new pedestrian links, streets and civic spaces. This will create increased connectivity and permeability in the heart of the town. A residential landmark building of 24 storeys to Haven Green and 17 storeys towards the south marks the gateway to Ealing town centre and underlines Ealing’s position as a major residential area. Grouped in 7 separate urban buildings the development will create: › › 500 residential dwellings in buildings of varying heights from 5 to 24 storeys 200,000 sq ft of retail space with a mix of unit sizes, and an anchor store of 57,000 sq ft 18,000 sq ft health and fitness club 5,000 sq ft of commercial space 325 basement car spaces renewable energy provision of 20% 02 03 04 05 › › › › The development will also include new civic and public spaces including 2 new squares, Station Plaza and New Square. 01 Model view 02 Masterplan 03 View towards residential tower 04 View across Haven Green 05 View through New Square

Slide 25: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 St Petersburg 02 This proposal is for a new business masterplan in the southern area of St Petersburg, providing residential, office and retail accommodation. The objective of the masterplan is to help regenerate this former industrial zone on the left bank of the River Neva. The masterplan is sensitively designed to respond to the physical, social and planning context of the area. The planning condition for the area is to create a strong continuous and solid edge along the River Neva. The masterplan comprises two sites, one which is primarily residential, and the other for business centre development. The development of this area establishes a new urban edge to the south bank of the river and establishes a new linear public square, from which access is gained to the major elements of the scheme. 01 Aerial of masterplan area 02 Map of area
Slide 26: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN Residential Masterplan The proposal for the residential site provides almost 700,000 sq ft of accommodation, with 25,000 sq ft of retail space. There will be approximately 750 residential units and a similar number of car parking spaces. Business Centre Masterplan The proposal for the business centre site provides over 90,000 sq ft of office accommodation, 48,000 sq ft of retail and 655 car parking spaces spread across the basement, podium and street level. Two L shaped blocks with a central courtyard are the main elements forming the business centre layout. The accentuated gap between these elements with a large projected canopy forms a gateway to the heart of the building. The scale of the new buildings was carefully considered in order to provide an appropriate urban massing for the area. 03 01 02 The aim of this masterplan is to make the existing site a more attractive, lively and prosperous area, transforming its image to draw a wide range of people to live, work, shop and enjoy this part of St. Petersburg. A mix of flexible commercial uses will create a lively streetscape which provides a major link to the future regeneration of the River Neva embankment. 01 Detail of buildings 02 Aerial of masterplan 03 Office building 04 Sketch of residential buildings 04
Slide 27: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 Dublin City Markets 02 A collaborative design team formed by HKR Architects, Make Architects and Gehl Architects has been selected to redesign and redevelop Dublin’s famous City Markets. Focusing on the redesign and revival of the site of the 19th century fruit, vegetable and fish markets near the Four Courts, north of Dublin’s River Liffey, the project is to be completed on behalf of the Markets Regeneration Consortium, and forms part of Dublin City Council’s Markets Area Draft Framework Plan. The brief is to develop a new gastronomic centre for Dublin with the redeveloped fish market site as the area’s focal point. The brief also includes the proposed regeneration of the Fruit and Vegetable Market building at the heart of the mixed use development. 01 Aerial detail 02 Sketch of Markets public square
Slide 28: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 02 02 In response to the brief, the strong working collaboration between HKR, Make and Gehl has produced a design which opens up the site and transforms it into a dynamic new urban focal point.

Slide 31: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 Heuston Gateway 02 HKR and a consultant team were appointed by Dublin City Council in 2006 to undertake a feasibility study of the 300,000 sq ft Heuston Gateway in Dublin. The primary remit was to re-examine the Heuston Gateway Regeneration Strategy 2003, addressing four key areas. › The creation of a new pedestrian place in front of the station where transfer between modes of transport can happen. ‘Heuston Square’ is to be a significant space in the city of which Dubliners can be proud. › The development of Heuston Station as a transport node, improving transfers between modes of transport and elevating the station to a world class interchange. The study was to test the assumptions of the 2003 strategy and fully examine the technical and economic feasibility. 01 Aerial detail 02 Aerial view
Slide 32: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 › The development of the CIE lands to the west of Heuston Station. The underused swathe of land on the verdant banks of the River Liffey and close to public transport links is the key catalyst site in the regeneration of the area at large. The redevelopment of these lands provides a link between the IMMA lands at Kilmainham and the Phoenix Park which presently suffer from a sense of disconnectivity. › A reassessment of the lands on the north and south bank of the river in conjunction with the revised traffic configuration around Heuston Square. This includes the National Museum at Collins Barracks, the Croppy Acre on the south side of the river where a new revitalised Museum Park is envisioned, and the Guinness lands to the north where a river front mixed use development will add people and life to this part of the city.

Slide 33: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 North Lewisham 02 Commissioned by London Borough of Lewisham HKR has developed, in consultation with a wide range of stakeholders, a strategic placemaking vision for Deptford New Cross. This vision celebrated the areas success, addressed its shortfalls and explored its development potential. The masterplan proposed a series of strategies to improve connections and raise the quality of parks, streets and open spaces in the area. In addition HKR considered the development of six key sites and how they would contribute to the regeneration of the area. Proposals for each site were based on detailed capacity studies and consultation with landlords and investors. The plan was subsequently adopted by the London Borough of Lewisham as a key planning strategy document. 01 Sketch 02 Masterplan

Slide 37: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 Timisoara 03 04 06 Timisora is the second largest city in Romania. HKR has been working closely with the city authorities to develop the strategic potential of this area. It's location, on the periphery of the old town, makes it a key project in the redevelopment of an industrial zone that sits just outside the railway line linking the city stations. The site has been carefully considered as a true retail-led urban rejuvenation project which will create new linkages between streets and develop an area which can become a multi-use living, working and leisure development. The proposed project is over 2 million sq ft and incorporates a retail mall, hotel, office and residential accommodation. In the public realm a new square will be formed with an underpass below the existing railway line, and there will also be a provision for a light rail station at the heart of the scheme. 05 01 02 Detail of masterplan 04 Proposed active frontage 05 Proposed bridging the old and new town 06 Proposed industrial estate and mainline 02 View from the park 03 Proposed analysis of neighbourhood centre

HKR has been appointed to masterplan a site within the town of 120,000 sq ft, which is currently in retail and cultural use. The site is adjacent to a square, which is now over-run with parking. There is a drop of about four meters across the site, due to the city’s hilltop location. HKR’s design proposal is retail-led and includes a hotel and leisure centre. 03 02 01 Aerial map 02 Concept sketch of masterplan 03 Model view through the proposed town centre
Slide 39: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 Castleknock 02 This is a new heart for the village of Castleknock, north of Dublin city. The design will turn the through street into a village square and create a new pedestrian-friendly retail main street which will tie into the existing retail offer, such that both are strengthened. The proposed plan, for Uxbridge Properties, consists of residential over smaller retail units with an anchor store towards the centre of the site which has an office building above. The office building is proposed for a medical clinic occupier. Overall the scheme is about 160,000 sq ft with an even split between uses. 01 Detail village view 02 Aerial view of masterplan
Slide 40: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 Pennyburn Cove 02 HKR was commissioned by Topaz Energy and Tedcastle Properties to prepare a response to the draft masterplan for the Pennyburn Cove site in Derry city, which was unveiled by Ilex at the end 2007. HKR has asserted that Pennyburn Cove holds the key to stimulating the rejuvenation of this section of the River Foyle waterfront, which at present remains the only section underutilised and undeveloped. A comprehensive development framework will stimulate private and public sector investment into a wider area, which will fully realise the potential of the last remaining development opportunity of the left bank of the Foyle. The Pennyburn Cove site will be the catalyst for this redevelopment, however only as part of a wider and more comprehensive strategy. The objective is to facilitate the River Foyle waterfront to become a location where people will want to live, work, and spend their leisure time. It reinforces the overall spirit and direction of the broader regeneration plan for the city as proposed by Ilex. 01 Detail of Masterplan 02 Masterplan
Slide 41: HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN 01 East Village 02 HKR has been appointed by a consortium to develop a framework masterplan for an area over 150 acres surrounding East Wall Road. The site is in a prime location adjacent to Dublin city centre at the confluence of several transportation routes with a tunnel link to the airport. The proposal maximises its two waterfront addresses onto Dublin Bay and the River Liffey by opening up and extending routes to these from the centre of the site. A key part of the proposal is an international business centre adjacent to public transportation routes, complemented with mixed use centres and outdoor recreational spaces.
