| Mott MacDonald design consultant for scheme in Brighton Marina Mott MacDonald is design and planning consultant for a major residential scheme for Brighton Marina. The £235 million project, being developed by Brunswick Developments, will help regenerate a part of the existing marina within the context of the Special Planning Guidance applicable to the area. The project includes around 853 residential units, 40% of which will be social housing, an iconic high rise tower of around 40 storeys and several smaller towers of some nine to fifteen storeys plus retail and public spaces that will integrate into the marina environment. Most of the development will sit over a former spending beach – a beach designed to absorb wave energy and 'calm' the marina – which is being replaced by a wave absorption chamber, an excellent example of land creation. The scheme, which will add 11 buildings to the marina, is expected to be completed by 2011. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
