Northern Quarter

Contrasting paving, sculptural elements and feature lighting combine in the creation of a dynamic and distinctive urban space.

Lighting is integral to the design concept, and a hierarchical approach is taken to ensure proper use of the space in hours of darkness.

Elegant by day, modern and colourful by night, the urban treatment for Abbey square and the adjoining streets relies on simple, clean forms and feature lighting to provide a unique urban experience. Careful placement of urban elements, combined with an uncluttered paving treatment is designed to respond to the commercial and urban context. With the use of the space expected to change from day to night, landscape elements vary in significance to respond to the changing character.
