Howard Smith Wharves has defining physical and cultural identity; adjacent to Story Bridge, cliff to the rear, historical building, and potential view along the river. From my research, many felt the area should remain peaceful and emphasis on public open space. They oppose the commercial and/or residential development that would cover the area and not complement quiet public enjoyment. Given the situation, I would like to create a gateway that would redefine its identity, a new piece of public domain that activate the site with respect to its historical significance.
- * Provide public access to waterfront
- * Mixed use of entertainment, residential, retail, gallery, restaurant/bar, park, and ferry terminal to
maximize site activities
- * Historic building to be internally restructured to facilitate development, to underwrite the creation of
new public domain and to contribute to the vitality and activity of the site.
* * Building to be positioned frontage to the river to frame the expansive views along two reaches of the
river.
- * 3 until 4 storey development
- * Parking area located on basement
- * Due to the lack of vertical connection to the cliff top, new pedestrian link will be publicly accessible
from The Valley.
* Integrate pedestrian and cycle sequence through the site with the riverside network.
- * Provide more ‘static use’ to the site
- * Provide a new ferry terminal to contribute to the development opportunities.
