To The Manor Born

These new images give the best idea yet of what could be the tallest building ever built in Kingston Upon Hull.
The scheme, Clarence Mill, is dominated by a tower that reaches approximately 82 metres to roof and 86 to the tip of the detailing above according to the elevations - surprisingly tall for a mere 22 floors above ground.
Three of the buildings including the tower are all made of the same stuff, industrial hues of red brick are the order of the day, punctuated by glazing.
The tower actually shares the lowest two floors of retail with its adjacent wing but visual seperation has already been designed in by the architects who have curves defining the edges of the two attached blocks and a peanut shape floor plate for the main tower element.
A series of other buildings are also included in the development, both of which act with the other blocks to ring the boundary of the site like the walls of a castle and sheltering what will be a new landscaped public space inside, accessed by pedestrians who will pass through a series of bending routes that mimic the curves of the tallest building.
Realising a development of this scale in Hull will however be a challenge for the developer, the Manor Property Group. A large portion of the scheme will be accommodation for students, a market already well served in the city that could struggle to attract occupiers unless it is as competitive as possible with existing housing.
