The aim of this project was to Design a fish market and restaurant alongside the Camber in old Portsmouth. The project  brief introduced  us to the idea of Urban Design and urged us to address the surrounding areas of the site.

My design aimed to represent the relationship between the meeting of the residential and commercial areas surrounding the site, using public space to unite them.

I represented this idea through the use of two forms in ‘balance’. The idea being that the two areas had to rely on each other, but still had very different characteristics.

The form representing the Commercial area revealed its structure at every point and hid nothing. The opposing residential form was a soft enclosed, but openable form. My scheme picked up heavily on the idea of public spaces creating this link. A vast staircase open to the public created the link, and drove the scheme.
