Rapier Street, Ipswich

In our role as architects for the project we worked with all three partners to design a highly visible, hugely successful development. This strategically significant site required a high quality, high density scheme to signal the entrance into Ipswich from the South, and its position at an arterial junction in a developing area required negotiation with the planners for a corridor to enable a future trunk road to be built. High-rise flats and four storey townhouses encircle the site, creating a sense of place. The public open space was designed to HomeZone standards complete with play area.
