“Their work has been of the highest quality with a sound basis in architectural and urban design principles with a clear understanding of the local context for the scheme. We have worked closely with the team to revolve the design and have always found them to be extremely co-operative and responsive to suggestions”. Stephen Hill - Lichfield District Venture

Friarsgate, Lichfield

Chetwoods won the project in competition in 2004 and, working with client Harrison and Lichfield District Venture, has created a sustainable masterplan for a new retail and entertainment district which recreates pedestrian links between Lichfield Station and the established city centre.

The design for Birmingham Road provides a new principal shopping street and new city spaces which will create animation on all sides of the development by providing active user to all elevations. The design reinforces and improves pedestrian permeability across the site with the creation of a series of linked spaces where people can pause and meet.
