The Goodsyard, Jewellery Quarter is shortlisted for RICS Awards 2024
We're eagerly anticipating this week’s RICS 2024 Midlands awards, where GNA’s ‘The Goodsyard’ project in the Jewellery Quarter (JQ) is shortlisted for both the Heritage and Residential awards.
GNA’s design thoughtfully responds to the historic grade 2* listed cemeteries of Key Hill and Warstone, which border the site, as well as its location within the Jewellery Quarter Conservation Area. The development revitalises each frontage and redefines the edges of these mature open spaces, reimagining them as elegant, landscaped parks as originally intended.
Our design reinterprets the site's industrial heritage, aiming to restore the scale, massing, and architectural significance of the lost goods warehouses destroyed during WWII bombings. This restoration is crucial for understanding the urban grain and function of the Jewellery Quarter. By adapting this architecture for modern living, working, and leisure, and engaging with the site's extensive rail and metro transport links, the Goodsyard project opens a new gateway to this historic area, benefiting both the new community and the wider city population.
The RICS Awards 2024 is taking place on Thursday 12th June 2024 where hopefully, The Goodsyard takes the win!
