Site 5A
On the corner of New Manesty's Lane and College Lane.
URBAN FORM
A 3-storey Anchor store providing a landmark building terminating the vista from Peter's Lane. The building turns the corner and responds to the scale of Peter's Lane rather than the eastern end of College Lane. A strong canopy/entrance will be required to punctuate the facade and give the building the required status in the urban grain.
USES
Second Floor - Top floor of Anchor store - sales and ancillary uses.
First Floor - Upper level of Anchor Store.
Ground Floor - Main entrance level from College Lane/Manesty's Lane into Anchor Store.
Basement - Shared service yard under whole footprint linking to Hanover Street via ramp between New Manesty's Lane and Hanover Street.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The building will play an important role in the definition of a small public space at the intersection of three lanes. Entrances and canopies to be oriented to reflect this function.
MATERIALS
Red granite opposite on site 1 and red brick along College Lane indicate that this building should take up an aspect of this colour palette. More glass can be used to create a transition into the retail world of Peter's Lane/New Manesty's Lane.
