Arup and Fletcher Priest


appointed to transform brownfield site


Arup and Fletcher Priest Architects have been appointed by Folkestone & Hythe District Council, supported by Homes England, to design and obtain planning permission for a sustainable housing-led scheme on a former gasworks site on Ship Street, derelict as far back as 1956. Acquired by the council in 2021,


the Ship Street project seeks to enhance permeability through the site via a new green car-free link, creating a pedestrian route from the


station to the town centre and harbour area.


The scheme comprises around 150 homes in a mix of houses, duplexes and apartments, and is designed to encourage sustainable lifestyles with incentives to promote using public transport, cycling and car clubs. The scheme could also provide space for a small number of commercial units, as well as public creative and cultural space. Rehana Raja, UKIMEA commercial


property lead at Arup says: ‘The project contributes to the Place Plan for Folkestone Town Centre – a vision to guide the town centre’s evolution for years to come, attracting investment and bringing together community groups whilst addressing the climate emergency. The Place Plan was developed by “We Made That” with extensive contribution from Fletcher Priest Architects.’ fletcherpriest.com/arup.com


A place with chemistry: new


exhibition at the Deutsches Museum uses high-tech HIMACS wall


A newly designed chemistry exhibition at the Deutsches Museum in Munich features a HIMACS Solid Surface material walls in Alpine White. The permenant exhibition,


designed by Ambos & Weidenhammer, is divided into three large sections. The design concept divides the massive world of chemistry into individual stations separated by cylindrical walls.


The individual stations and their cylindrical walls made of HIMACS Solid Surface material, which have different shapes routed into the double-wall structures, draw in visitors to explore the molecular world of each station. himacs.eu / a-w-architekten.de
