Bristols old city centre lays mostly neglected and underutilised with a character set in the last century rather than the centuries that preceded it. My project aims to bring production back to the city centre whilst maintaining and enhancing the public park space. As a centre of brewery, it brings together the wealth of independent brewers and distilleries in the city as well as providing for the urban farms.

The new addition restores the historical pedestrian streetscape whilst providing a much needed cover and seating for St Nicholas market. The forms of the old bank building have been reused and cladded to bring them in line with modern standards and a green roof to tie the building into the rest of castle park.
