Bathurst Basin
Winner – Dylan Brown, Our Field
Dylan’s proposal, Bathurst Lock Garden & Café, transforms the historic, disused lock at Bathurst Basin into a thriving waterside garden. Drawing on the area’s maritime heritage, the design would create new habitats for wildlife and improve flood resilience through a tidal water garden, alongside a new pedestrian footbridge and sustainably constructed café overlooking the basin.
Hanover Place
Winner – Barbara Voto, Buju Architects
Barbara’s proposal, Living Tracks, reimagines Hanover Place as a greener connection between Brunel’s SS Great Britain and Bristol Marina. Celebrating the area’s industrial past, the design would transform historic railway tracks into planted corridors, introduce sculptural seating inspired by nautical knots and create a sheltered woodland garden for Coffee Club Cafe.
The Grove
Winner – Matthew Cox, Studio Zed
Matthew’s concept, A Living Harbour, takes inspiration from Copenhagen’s waterfront to reimagine The Grove’s underused car park. The proposal would create a vibrant public space with rain gardens, floating wetlands, a community greenhouse and waterside steps. A floating sauna would offer views towards St Mary Redcliffe, while the design also explores the longer-term possibility of a designated open-water swimming area.
