​Chapman Taylor’s Castle Park View shortlisted for The Tall Buildings Awards

We’re delighted to have been shortlisted for the 2022 Tall Buildings Awards in the Architect category, for Castle Park View, a scheme that incorporates a 26-storey tower overlooking Castle Park in Bristol.

It’s the tallest residential scheme of its type in Bristol, combining Build-to-Rent apartments and Affordable Housing.

Chapman Taylor, acting for Linkcity, was responsible for the architectural and interior design of Castle Park View, and we have worked with Bouygues UK on the construction phase and interior design, now nearly complete. This high-quality housing scheme is being delivered in collaboration with M&G Real Estate, Homes England, Bristol City Council and Abri Group (formerly Yarlington Housing Group). Bouygues UK has also been nominated for Castle Park View in the contractor category, for the construction element.

Tall buildings present unique challenges in terms of both design and construction. Their sheer scale demands that particular attention is paid simultaneously to strategic and detailed issues. The Tall Buildings Awards celebrate those that are developing unique design and engineering solutions to maximise space in city centres where demand is high whilst creating a legacy of iconic superstructures that are transforming the UK's built environment.

The Tall Buildings Awards is set to take place on Tuesday 21 June 2022 in central London, during an informal drinks reception immediately after the Tall Buildings Conference. To book tickets and view the full shortlist visit: https://www.tallbuildingsawards.co.uk/book
