Harbour Steps
Workspace over retail, under a timber canopy that had to be built before the square reopened for winter.
The canopy was the public face and the programme risk. Glulam members were procured against a mill slot booked at tender stage. The colonnade was scaffold-free for the Christmas market, which was a client requirement written in plain language and treated as one.
Upper floors are cellular workspace with a stone façade that matches the harbour elevation. Ground floor was handed as shell for three retail tenants.
