 The site is strategically located at the edge of the city center, along the Oxford Corridor and near Piccadilly Station, an area rich in commercial, educational, and community spaces. Positioned between the bustling Piccadilly district and nearby academic institutions, the site holds significant potential to act as a transitional innovation hub, linking these zones seamlessly. By carefully designing the walking experience and public spaces, the project aims to create a vibrant, inclusive environment that fosters sustainable development.

The design focuses on enhancing connectivity and walkability, making the area a key node for students, young professionals, and local residents. A well-considered land use plan integrates mixed-use spaces with high-quality green infrastructure and thoughtfully designed public realms, ensuring the site is greener and more livable. By connecting Grosvenor Street and Upper Brook Street with green corridors and public spaces, the proposal strengthens links between the site and its surrounding urban context, creating a cohesive and accessible environment.

The inclusion of tree-lined paths and semi-private green infrastructure further enhances the area’s community-oriented character, providing shared spaces for relaxation and interaction. This project envisions the site as a dynamic innovation hub, designed to attract a youthful and creative population while supporting vibrant community experiences and sustainable urban living.
