Gun Wharf
Plymouth, PL1 4NY
Description
Plymouth's Gun Wharf development was previously a run down post-war estate. The transformation has included modern housing that reflects the local identity of the area. It was designed by Lacey Hickie Caley Architects. Public meetings were held to hear local residents' views on the scheme, also involving Plymouth County Council, Devon and Cornwall Housing Association and the Regional Development Association. Existing residents were temporarily re-housed during the phased construction. The scheme manages to integrate a variety of housing types with mixed occupancy The innovative design uses a mixture of local materials including wooden cladding. It appears that overall, the development has been hugely successful in creating a sense of place. The mixed-use units vary from 1-bedroom flats to 3-4 bedroom town houses, and sit on a stepped terrace overlooking the River Tamar.
