Global destinations MIRA Technology Park UK
Placemaking / The Master Plan As the world ’ s population moves increasingly towards living in urban , as opposed to rural , communities , the skill in planning and designing these environments becomes all the more important . Our masterplanners , architects and designers shape the places and spaces where people choose to live , work and play - whether established and evolving , or from the earliest stage of their creation .
We work closely with clients , other stakeholders and in turn their customers , to maximise the opportunity and potential of their sites – creating successful , thriving and truly sustainable developments .
Whatever and wherever the destination – a major new city living quarter , resort , commercial entertainment centre , university campus or science and technology park , the process is the same – we begin by understanding the unique challenges and opportunities of a project ; its financial and non-financial goals ; any regulatory drivers and wider community perspectives .
Delivering the Vision / The Design in Detail Our designers consider the detail of the built environment : the buildings that are within the community – whether new or reinvented , extended or refurbished . We consider not only the aesthetics , but the business case in relation to financing , planning and marketing , together with the practicalities of occupancy , build costs and running costs – efficiency and flexibility .
MIRA Technology Park Having worked with our client to create the vision for a new Technology Park for MIRA , we are now delivering that vision .
The masterplan has been designed to create a low-density campusstyle environment , with a spacious and rural feel . Significant areas of park are being strategically landscaped , with the aim of providing an exceptional working and recreational environment .
At the heart of the development is MIRA ’ s new engineering centre , with It ’ s state of the art headquarters and engineering facility .
Central amenities will include retail and leisure , a restaurant , hotel , health club and gymnasium , along with sporting facilities .
New facilities are being interwoven with existing ones , many of which are being updated and refurbished .
Our early involvement has meant that we have been fully engaged in understanding the business case , supporting our client through the park ’ s evolutions and planning attracting funding and then tenants .
2015 / 16 has been another exciting year . Major roads and estate infrastructure have been completed on the A5 and within the Technology Park . Also two new Research and Development buildings are on site this year . MIRA continues to grow from strength to strength ; we are privileged to be involved .
