Burnley Town Centre Redevelopment
BurnleyClient: Henry Boot Developments
Budget: £43m
This retail development responds to a brief set by Burnley Borough
Council to create a new shopping centre, providing 300,000 sq ft of
retail space, leisure facilities, a hotel and parking for 500 cars. Due
to start on site in Autumn 2007, the proposal links the existing town
centre to adjacent retail parks by reinforcing pedestrian routes and
forms two new external civic spaces.
Designed as a contemporary response to the existing built fabric, the building envelope utilises a variety of modern materials to address both the internal core spaces and the urban steel pattern. Within the development, orientation of retail units allows for maximum visibility and transparency.
