Situated within the Holbeck Conservation Area along the Leeds-Liverpool canal, Tower Works spans 1.17 hectares and is a cornerstone of the Leeds Southbank Development. The overarching design concept seeks to frame the historic grade II listed towers—the Giotto Tower, Verona Tower, and Engine House—within a contemporary and sustainable setting. By embracing the site’s heritage, the design creates a dialogue between the past and the future, offering a high-quality living and working environment.
Collaboration was key in bringing this ambitious vision to life. Our team worked closely with OOBE to ensure that the feasibility of their innovative design was fully realized with our landscaping systems. This partnership focused on creating solutions that not only met aesthetic goals but also adhered to functional needs and sustainability criteria.
The Tower Works project culminates in a beautifully landscaped rooftop terrace, offering a serene oasis amidst the bustling city. Lush greenery, thoughtfully placed seating areas, and a modern architectural backdrop create a welcoming public space for residents and visitors alike. This elevated design not only provides breathtaking views but also fosters a sense of community and tranquillity. The transformation of this former industrial site into a vibrant urban retreat showcases the power of sustainable design and thoughtful urban planning, reinforcing the project’s commitment to creating a high-quality living environment.
The final design of Tower Works elegantly marries residential amenity spaces with the inclusion of biodiverse-conscious design choices. A network of pedestrian routes connects these spaces around the public realm, inviting both residents and visitors to explore the rich landscape. The project not only enhances the local environment but also serves as a model for sustainable urban development.
