Design of Silo D
​
The design itself is focused on retaining the original architectural character whilst also making it fit into the surround environment. To do this, a roof terrace has been added to Silo D which can be accessed through the middle of Silo D via staircases that will be added. This will be used for things like studying or just to enjoy the views of the rest of the docklands. Cafes will also be added to the bottom of Silo D which will be located next to the finger dock, encouraging people to interact with one another. Connections to the rest of the site are key in creating an easily accessible space, and therefore paths will be revitalized and smoothened out, making it easier for cyclists and pedestrians to make their way through the site and increasing the overall legibility.

A diverse hub for all
Silo D is one of the two main heritage sites that are currently inactive. Removing this iconic building would damage the sites diverse and historic background, therefore Silo D will be retained on site, regenerated to fit into the surrounding area whilst still maintaining its outstanding architectural character. The Silo D quarter will be transformed into a diverse hub, where people can go for coffee, food or even book boat rides from within the finger dock. By doing this, it incorporates the sites heritage whilst acting as an incentive for people to come into and through the site.

Albert Docks, Liverpool
Located in the heart of Liverpool, the Albert Docks has become the centrepiece of Liverpool's UNESCO world heritage status. To this day it remains an example of one of the worlds major trading centres within the 18th and 19th century, and was pivotal in the growth of the great British Empire.
​
A pioneer in dock technology and port management, the waterfront is now central to city life in Liverpool with regular events and markets held within the site transforming it into
​
In light of COVID-19, the Albert Docks team has advised that visits to the waterfront should however be limited, and that people instead stay home and purchase virtual tours on their website to support the site.
Bristol Harbourside
Like many waterfront schemes in its day, Bristol Harbourside was quickly rundown through lack of proper port management, and would stay this way for well over a century.
​
However, the regeneration scheme today has since transformed the old derelict harbour into the heart of Bristol, with local employment at an all time high. Alongside this, the local community have come together to form The Harbourside Market, which transforms the site into a weekly festival ranging from the likes of cultural street foods to arts and trinkets.
​
With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Bristol Harbourside has released a statement saying that all ongoing activities, restaurants and marketplaces will be closed until government regulations state otherwise.
