‘Harrison Park’, Hall Road, Hull – new project commission !

I have just been commissioned on a new ‘Extra Care’ Housing development on Hall Road, Orchard Park in Hull. 

This project is being delivered by Riverside Care and Support in partnership with Wates Living Space. The project architects are Croft Goode. The landscape architects are re-form landscape architects.

This is one of three developments in the City which Riverside are delivering concurrently. The other sites are Leads Road on the north Bransholme Estate and Hawthorne Avenue in West Hull. There is a substantial integrated arts strategy and programme, developed and being delivered by RKL Consultants.   I am one of a number of artists who have been commissioned to respond to these sites. The other artists are: Jyll Bradley, Katayoun Dowlatshahi, Rona Smith, Tim Norris and Angus Ross.  

Riverside (one of the leading social housing providers in the UK), in partnership with Wates Living Space, is developing three new high quality extra care schemes within the city of Hull;

Harrison Park, Hall Road (65 apartments, 60 x 2bed, 5 x 1 bed)

Cecil Gardens, Hawthorn Avenue (95 apartments, 89 x 2 bed, 6 short stay)

Redwood Glades, Leads Road (156 apartments 60 x 2 bed, 96 x 1 bed))

 The developments will be delivered under the PFI protocol. They will be high quality residential developments providing lifetime homes for adults who need some form of extra care and support. Riverside is committed to engaging the skills and imagination of artists in providing people with living environments which enhance their quality of life, stimulate their imagination and which contribute meaningfully to life of the community”.
