Re-design of St John's Precinct in Blackpool, UK
Winning competition entry

The proposal for the new design of the precinct includes the application of the shared-space principle, giving privilege to pedestrians and creating a flexible space for markets and events, as well as providing seating in the shade of mature trees. The focal point of the scheme is the New Horizon sculpture, a spiral-like steel work with a mirrored surface capturing the light from the sky and sea.

The design concept aims to enhance and improve urban life for the benefit of the local community and visitors, both of whom contributed to the intensive public consultation exercise.
