Hayle harbour project shortlisted for top award
NEW images reveal what the centrepiece to the transformation of Hayle Harbour could look like once completed.
Work got under way at Hayle’s North Quay earlier this year on the scheme to create a new coastal quarter featuring homes, shops and open spaces.
Designed by architects and urban designers Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, the scheme has been shortlisted in the project category in the Housing Design Awards 2020.
The awards were launched in 1948 and are the most prestigious awards in the sector recognising the best in UK housing.
The development is being built by Corinthian Homes (part of the Corinthian Homes Group).
Simon Wright, CEO of Corinthian Homes Group, said: “Our aim from the outset has been to deliver a high quality project which greatly enhances the local area and its economy, protects and promotes its heritage and puts Hayle Harbour on the map as a desirable residential, visitor, business and investment destination. It is great to see North Quay shortlisted alongside some of the best schemes in the country. This early recognition of what we are trying to achieve here is a tribute to the inspiration, innovation and hard work of the entire project team and in particular that of our architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios.”
Once complete, North Quay is intended to become a focal point for further phases of the regeneration and a destination in its own right.
North Quay is set among the striking scenery of the Hayle Estuary and within the boundaries of the Hayle Conservation Area and The UNESCO World Heritage Site for Cornwall and Devon. It will feature approximately 140 properties within 11 buildings, including 17 three-bedroom wharfstyle houses and one, two and threebedroom apartments.
Phase 1 also includes the development of North Quay Square, which will host events all year round, and some 20 retail units for offices, shops and restaurants, creating “a bustling cafe culture”.
Public access to the beach will be maintained and there will be new car parking facilities at North Quay, a variety of attractive and well-connected pedestrian-friendly streets and seating areas incorporated into key locations along the wharf.
The results of the Housing Design Awards 2020 will be announced on Wednesday, September 2.
