Description

The renovation of a collection of historic 19th Century harbourside and boat making buildings to form a Maritime Centre of Excellence comprising new leisure, office, education, café spaces and significant improvements to the public realm.

The boatyard is a Scheduled Monument so all refurbishment works were subject to consent and discussions with Historic England led to a Heritage Partnership Agreement being put in place. The works were phased to minimise disruption to the businesses and other activities operating in the boatyard.

Winner of Design Award (Alec French Architects) at the Bristol Civic Society Awards 2017.
