A host of new images have been released unveiling a look at the proposed redevelopment of Kings Square in Gloucester.
Plans for the multi-million pound regeneration have been submitted, which include proposals for new homes, office space, restaurants and shared workspace in the heart of the city.
The new images show the square as a focal point for visitors to the city and people who live and work in the area.
Spaces for markets, outdoor dining, a temporary stage, outdoor cinema and other leisure uses are proposed to breathe new life into the area. New feature fountains - inspired by the Severn Bore – are proposed to create a new landmark for Kings Square.
Leader of Gloucester City Council, Paul James said: "Kings Square is the city centre's largest public open space and will become a focal point for businesses, residents and visitors. These new images illustrate our vision for the transformation of this part of Gloucester city centre into a destination and flexible event space.
"These plans support our aspirations to attract new investment in the city to improve the experience for people to visit, shop and work. By proposing a mix of uses in the square, Gloucester will continue to succeed as times and habits change.
"There is now real momentum behind the entire Kings Quarter regeneration project and with some work already beginning we are on the cusp of realising this vision and bringing the images to life."
Novell Tullett has led the design of the Kings Square, supported by AHR and AECOM. The defining sculptural edge of the square has been designed by internationally renowned George King Architects (GKA) whose founder hails from Gloucester.
George King, Principal at GKA added: "We are very excited to be a part of such an important initiative for the city of Gloucester.
"The opportunity to be involved in the regeneration of the city in which I was born is truly unique and it has been a pleasure to be a member of the dedicated team bringing new life to Kings Square. We hope that our playful and contemporary design will re-energise the square and help it to once again become a proud focal point for the local community as well as an attraction for visitors from near and far for many years to come."
