“When you look at a city, it's like reading the hopes, aspirations and

pride of everyone who built it."

Hugh Newell Jacobsen


When looking ahead, whether for 3 or for 30 years, a well-planned site must be flexible and adaptable, and ready for the future.

Developing or regenerating is about building a long-term future and creating a place where people come first. That is why HKR’s approach to masterplanning and urban design focuses on creating environments where people can live and work in a safe, integrated community.


With the help of this agenda, and by applying HKR’s design principles, we provide our clients with the means to create sustainable urban environments.


HKR's masterplanning team creates designs that address the social and economic requirements of a site’s location.

We do this by first undertaking a detailed contextual and socio-economic appraisal of the site, then planning workable strategies for:

Land use ›Transport ›Planning—both existing and ›aspirational

Development—with clear parameters ›for phasing and implementation

Our Masterplanning Process

Urban Design projects are often highly complex. At HKR we begin by defining a clear and comprehensive agenda that covers all the critical factors for analysis and implementation, including:

Prospective land use ›Urban character ›Structure and grain ›Density and mix ›Scale, height and massing ›Continuity and enclosure ›Sustainability ›Adaptability and diversity ›Landscaping ›Open space and amenities ›Details and materials ›

HKR’s approach to masterplanning and urban design focuses on creating environments where people can live and work in a safe, integrated community.


Our Approach to Urbanism

HKR's philosophy is about delivering design:

rooted in context ›a scaled response ›space positive design ›loosefit flexibility ›

and in the end, about the people.


rooted in context...

Architecture in context is a strong and eloquent visual relationship to its surroundings. Individual buildings must always be seen as a part of the whole.

Creating places and spaces that enrich the lives of the people who use them is the foundation of Urban Design.

Every building can and should engage in a dialog with the history, beliefs and needs of a particular place and time.

Recognition, memory, choice, sharing with others, the acquisition of significance; all these contribute to the process of successful Masterplanning.

Every project needs to be perceived as part of implementing an urban design project which entails gathering insights into urban fabric.

HKR's role as urban designers is to work on many scales, thoughtfully designing public places and spaces, and to build on the unique local character and the best qualities of the forms inherent in that geographic region.


a scaled response...

People interact with their environment based on their physical dimensions, capabilities and limits.

Buildings scaled to human physical capabilities have steps, doorways, railings, work surfaces, seating, walking distances, and other features that fit well to the average person.

People also interact with their environments based on their sensory capabilities.

The human perception is not purely a physical act, it is affected by cultural factors, personal preferences, experiences, and expectations.

At HKR we understand that scale in architecture should always respond to human requirements and benefit the people who are living there.


Relative risk

art should be risky ›architecture — adventurous ›masterplanning — conservative ›

Many of us are living off the forward thinking of the 19th century designers. Infrastructure built robustly and conservatively can and should be generous. This is the framework that all development hangs on and is pivotal to HKR's masterplanning and urban design.

If the network of urban space is created to allow for the current use rather than designed exclusively to the current use then the adaptability of that framework is greatly increased. This maximises its sustainability.

loosefit flexibility...

space positive design...

The bane of most cities is leftover space, which is often the instigator of social troubles. Space has to be programmed and designed.

At HKR we don't let the buildings get in the way, we use the buildings to create the space.

Space positive design is about

public gain ›the best possible address ›the best possible development areas ›optimising development potential ›

Design ProcessIn the design process, the scale of the new buildings at Smithfield were carefully considered. This was to provide both an appropriate urban massing for this area of the city centre as well as providing a balance between the heights of the new buildings and the size of the historic market place.

The new buildings form a strong edge to the square which are punctured by new routes for pedestrians that are carved out of the old urban block.

04

FinishesThe hard landscaping at ground level in public areas contrasts strongly with the rooftop gardens.

The rooftop gardens are provided for the benefit of residents, an important social space often denied to apartment residents.

Materials of the highest quality were specified in the development and include Jura limestone, high quality facing brick, structural glazing and copper and zinc panelling.

Urban RegenerationAll buildings have been carefully considered to form a new and appropriate urban grain which will continue to act as a model for urban regeneration in Dublin and provide a major catalyst for the continued regeneration of the greater Smithfield and HARP area.

A cultural centre, medical centre, offices, restaurants, retail, apartments and hotel together provide a new urban quarter in this historic part of Dublin city.Residential Entrances

02

The Northern Quarter is a prime retail-led mixed use development anchored by Arnotts Department Store in the heart of the retail core area of Dublin city centre. The 1.5 million sq ft development will provide an integrated mix of retail, residential, leisure and hotel facilities.

The site extends to 5.6 acres and links O’Connell Street to the east, Henry Street to the north, Upper Liffey Street to the east and Middle Abbey Street to the south.

Contemporary in design and providing a sense of place, the transformed and pedestrianised Prince’s Street leads into the newly created Abbey Square.

The current Arnotts Department Store will be demolished and replaced with a new 320,000 sq ft state-of-the-art store, trading over six levels.

A decision to grant planning permission was made by Dublin City Council in 2007 and construction is due to commence in 2008 with completion in 2012.

The Northern Quarter will be an open street development arranged as individual city blocks each with its own architecture and identity.

02 View of proposed public square

HKR has designed a mixed use scheme of 670,000 sq ft for this 3.2 acre site, incorporating offices, residential, medical and retail accommodation.

This site at St James’ Dock is located in Dublin 8, within walking distance of the city centre.

The importance of the site today is concealed beneath low-grade industrial building stock. It is zoned for mixed use in the Dublin City Development Plan of which offices, retail and residential will be the predominant uses, to facilitate employment and residential activity in the area.

The original Grand Canal Harbour configuration is the key to developing this site.

The design of the scheme proposes a ground plane informed by the original harbour where buildings appear to float above or rise from the bodies of water.

This layering of contemporary design over the historic footprint of the harbour will create a dynamitic public domain with a powerful sense of place that can become a focus for this new quarter.

The Digital Hub is a Government backed initiative set up to attract and develop a global digital centre within the city of Dublin, which will be home for digital media and innovation companies.

There are at present over 50 such companies on the site, which previously formed part of the Guinness St James’ Gate Brewery.

The aim of The Digital Hub Development Agency is to provide additional office accommodation in the region of 75,000 sq ft.

The proposed plans for the balance of the site consist of nearly 300 apartments, an additional 140,000 sq ft of offices, shops, bars and a shop-front showcase for The Digital Hub to be known as 'Digital Underground'.

As part of HKR’s design, several late 18th and early 19th century industrial buildings will be retained and reused including the largest surviving Smock Windmill in Europe.

Commercial units on lower levels will be combined with Digital Hub offices and apartments overhead to allow a mix of uses in every part of this 3.2 acre city block.

At the heart of the design is the monumental brick Windmill which will form an entrance to the Digital Underground space, with taller elements including a 16 storey office building being the most prominent point of reference.

Sekyra Group, one of the largest developers in Central Europe, commissioned HKR to design a masterplan in support of their bid for this prime city centre site along the river in Prague.

HKR’s proposed design was the winning bid. The masterplan delivers almost 4 million sq ft of prime city centre development, rehabilitating two existing neighbourhoods and adding a third. These are all centred on a new riverfront park for the city.

Housing is being created for the young executives that will work in the new office buildings, with significant attention been given to the provision of amenities for the young and old. This will help stem the tide of a suburban exodus with a viable alternative for family living.

Sitting along side the new park of Zeleny Ostrov are the existing communities of Karlin, Invalidovna and Liben. None of these communities have a direct relationship to the new park without this masterplan.

Instead of trying to create a new place and a new identity, we aim to be more sustainable by using and improving on the identity of the existing communities.

Karlin will be the least modified as it is ›the most established.

Liben is already undergoing ›tremendous change with the docks development and this will be taken into account.

Rohansky (Invalidovna) is the least ›legible of the communities at present, and it is here that the new heart is being injected, where it is needed most.

HKR was appointed by Glenkerrin UK to redesign the Arcadia Shopping Centre, a 4.2 acre site at Ealing Broadway in West London.

The development will create a new mixed use development consisting of retail, residential, leisure and commercial in the town centre of Ealing with significant new pedestrian links, streets and civic spaces. This will create increased connectivity and permeability in the heart of the town.

A residential landmark building of 24 storeys to Haven Green and 17 storeys towards the south marks the gateway to Ealing town centre and underlines Ealing’s position as a major residential area.

Grouped in 7 separate urban buildings the development will create:

› 500 residential dwellings in buildings of varying heights from 5 to 24 storeys

› 200,000 sq ft of retail space with a mix of unit sizes, and an anchor store of 57,000 sq ft

› 18,000 sq ft health and fitness club

› 5,000 sq ft of commercial space

› 325 basement car spaces

› renewable energy provision of 20%

The development will also include new civic and public spaces including 2 new squares, Station Plaza and New Square.

St Petersburg

This proposal is for a new business masterplan in the southern area of St Petersburg, providing residential, office and retail accommodation.

The objective of the masterplan is to help regenerate this former industrial zone on the left bank of the River Neva.

The masterplan is sensitively designed to respond to the physical, social and planning context of the area.

The planning condition for the area is to create a strong continuous and solid edge along the River Neva.

The masterplan comprises two sites, one which is primarily residential, and the other for business centre development.

01 Aerial of masterplan area

02 Map of area

01 02

The development of this area establishes a new urban edge to the south bank of the river and establishes a new linear public square, from which access is gained to the major elements of the scheme.


Business Centre Masterplan

The proposal for the business centre site provides over 90,000 sq ft of office accommodation, 48,000 sq ft of retail and 655 car parking spaces spread across the basement, podium and street level.

Two L shaped blocks with a central courtyard are the main elements forming the business centre layout. The accentuated gap between these elements with a large projected canopy forms a gateway to the heart of the building.

The scale of the new buildings was carefully considered in order to provide an appropriate urban massing for the area.

Residential Masterplan

The proposal for the residential site provides almost 700,000 sq ft of accommodation, with 25,000 sq ft of retail space.

There will be approximately 750 residential units and a similar number of car parking spaces.

The aim of this masterplan is to make the existing site a more attractive, lively and prosperous area, transforming its image to draw a wide range of people to live, work, shop and enjoy this part of St. Petersburg.

A mix of flexible commercial uses will create a lively streetscape which provides a major link to the future regeneration of the River Neva embankment.

A collaborative design team formed by HKR Architects, Make Architects and Gehl Architects has been selected to redesign and redevelop Dublin’s famous City Markets.

Focusing on the redesign and revival of the site of the 19th century fruit, vegetable and fish markets near the Four Courts, north of Dublin’s River Liffey, the project is to be completed on behalf of the Markets Regeneration Consortium, and forms part of Dublin City Council’s Markets Area Draft Framework Plan.

The brief is to develop a new gastronomic centre for Dublin with the redeveloped fish market site as the area’s focal point. The brief also includes the proposed regeneration of the Fruit and Vegetable Market building at the heart of the mixed use development.

HKR and a consultant team were appointed by Dublin City Council in 2006 to undertake a feasibility study of the 300,000 sq ft Heuston Gateway in Dublin. The primary remit was to re-examine the Heuston Gateway Regeneration Strategy 2003, addressing four key areas.

The creation of a new pedestrian place ›in front of the station where transfer between modes of transport can happen. ‘Heuston Square’ is to be a significant space in the city of which Dubliners can be proud.

The development of Heuston Station as ›a transport node, improving transfers between modes of transport and elevating the station to a world class interchange. The study was to test the assumptions of the 2003 strategy and fully examine the technical and economic feasibility.


The development of the CIE lands ›to the west of Heuston Station. The underused swathe of land on the verdant banks of the River Liffey and close to public transport links is the key catalyst site in the regeneration of the area at large. The redevelopment of these lands provides a link between the IMMA lands at Kilmainham and the Phoenix Park which presently suffer from a sense of disconnectivity.

A reassessment of the lands on the ›north and south bank of the river in conjunction with the revised traffic configuration around Heuston Square. This includes the National Museum at Collins Barracks, the Croppy Acre on the south side of the river where a new revitalised Museum Park is envisioned, and the Guinness lands to the north where a river front mixed use development will add people and life to this part of the city.

HKR : MASTERPLANNING & URBAN DESIGN


Commissioned by London Borough of Lewisham HKR has developed, in consultation with a wide range of stakeholders, a strategic placemaking vision for Deptford New Cross.

This vision celebrated the areas success, addressed its shortfalls and explored its development potential. The masterplan proposed a series of strategies to improve connections and raise the quality of parks, streets and open spaces in the area.

In addition HKR considered the development of six key sites and how they would contribute to the regeneration of the area.

Proposals for each site were based on detailed capacity studies and consultation with landlords and investors. The plan was subsequently adopted by the London Borough of Lewisham as a key planning strategy document.


Boddingtons

The 180,000 sq ft mixed use development is contained within the sensitive former Boddington’s Brewery site in Manchester.

This project forms part of the first phase of a masterplan for the wider area. The regeneration framework seeks to ensure a vibrant destination with maximum job creation.

The scheme contains a 4-star hotel and offices, and will include a site-wide heat and power scheme to ensure minimum carbon footprint.

Rostov-on-Don01 03

Rostov-on-Don, located on the River Don, is one of the largest cities in the south of Russia. The city is a significant river port and has always been of great commercial and cultural importance.

In recent years the city has experienced considerable economic growth and is being transformed into a modern, industrial and technology-rich hub and bustling business centre.

HKR has been appointed by Mall Management to design a masterplan for a new urban quarter of over 2.5 million sq ft in the city of Rostov-on-Don. The project forms part of a ‘string of pearls’ which will link the city theatre with the River Don and a new pleasure cruise terminal on the river.

In the public realm a new square will be formed with an underpass below the existing railway line, and there will also be a provision for a light rail station at the heart of the scheme.

Timisoara

Timisora is the second largest city in Romania. HKR has been working closely with the city authorities to develop the strategic potential of this area. It's location, on the periphery of the old town, makes it a key project in the redevelopment of an industrial zone that sits just outside the railway line linking the city stations.

The site has been carefully considered as a true retail-led urban rejuvenation project which will create new linkages between streets and develop an area which can become a multi-use living, working and leisure development.

The growing town of Melnik, located north of Prague city, has a population of about 20,000 and almost 100,000 in the wider catchment area.

HKR has been appointed to masterplan a site within the town of 120,000 sq ft, which is currently in retail and cultural use. The site is adjacent to a square, which is now over-run with parking. There is a drop of about four meters across the site, due to the city’s hilltop location.

HKR’s design proposal is retail-led and includes a hotel and leisure centre.

This is a new heart for the village of Castleknock, north of Dublin city. The design will turn the through street into a village square and create a new pedestrian-friendly retail main street which will tie into the existing retail offer, such that both are strengthened. The proposed plan, for Uxbridge Properties, consists of residential over smaller retail units with an anchor store towards the centre of the site which has an office building above. The office building is proposed for a medical clinic occupier. Overall the scheme is about 160,000 sq ft with an even split between uses.

HKR was commissioned by Topaz Energy and Tedcastle Properties to prepare a response to the draft masterplan for the Pennyburn Cove site in Derry city, which was unveiled by Ilex at the end 2007.

HKR has asserted that Pennyburn Cove holds the key to stimulating the rejuvenation of this section of the River Foyle waterfront, which at present remains the only section underutilised and undeveloped.

A comprehensive development framework will stimulate private and public sector investment into a wider area, which will fully realise the potential of the last remaining development opportunity of the left bank of the Foyle. The Pennyburn Cove site will be the catalyst for this redevelopment, however only as part of a wider and more comprehensive strategy.

HKR has been appointed by a consortium to develop a framework masterplan for an area over 150 acres surrounding East Wall Road. The site is in a prime location adjacent to Dublin city centre at the confluence of several transportation routes with a tunnel link to the airport.

The proposal maximises its two waterfront addresses onto Dublin Bay and the River Liffey by opening up and extending routes to these from the centre of the site.

A key part of the proposal is an international business centre adjacent to public transportation routes, complemented with mixed use centres and outdoor recreational spaces.
