New Retail Quarter - Sevenstone - Page 114

Actually, if you read the design statement - the materials and design makes sense.

The brown is rough glazed teracotta with thick stainless steel framing - and in context down Cambridge street, it actually looks good.

Also I do like Liverpool Ones curved canopy.

I certainly like it. Think it has the wow factor.

Steel City Suburb · June 7th, 2009, 01:58 PM

I don't go around where the site is often, how many old grand nice buildings are we losing, if any?

AdamBlade · June 7th, 2009, 02:00 PM

zero, this is an absolute shit hole part of the city centre.

I don't think the renders are particularly good, and there's elements of the scheme which scream 60s/70s design, but I think the devil of this will be in the materials. Hammerson have made a cracking job of the Highcross scheme in Leicester in terms of materials but it does feel a bit 'false' in other respects, like it doesn't belong in Leicester.

I just hope that in trying to give a WOW factor to the scheme that it doesn't result in a poor choice of materials that will date terribly and a spanking new scheme that doesn't feel as though it's part of Sheffield.

Well, the canopy is wood, the blocking above ground is bubble glazed terracotta and below ground is sandstone that has artificial layering effect (by having lots of blocks on top of each other)

In general I like it, although the building on the right is a bit of a boring box.

hella good · June 8th, 2009, 12:08 PM

But if you think about it if every building was unusual it would be too overwhelming. As long its well designed and built, it could be a good thing

What he said. We don't want Follystone.

There are 2 interesting buildings that may or not go during the development - Leah's Yard and the building fronting on to Pinstone Street. More info. is available someone on this thread if you can be bothered searching...

There is a company called "Demex" in the fire station at the moment stripping it out.

DETAILED plans for Sheffield's Sevenstone retail quarter - put on hold because of the economic downturn - are likely to be approved by councillors on Monday.
