Creation:

The Central, Cambridge

Suggestions that the former art-deco Central Cinema and surrounding buildings located in Cambridge City Centre were to be demolished to make way for a large floor plate office led scheme inspired our founder to create an alternative development vision for the site.

Taking account of the complexities and constraints of the site these speculative proposals sought to retain and repurpose large parts of the existing cinema in order to create a new collaboration, innovation, co working, community and bar/restaurant space while adding new modern office and retail space.

As part of the creation of an alternate vision and taking account of the highly constrained site we also created an outline construction strategy for the proposal in order to demonstrate how the vision could be delivered.
