Welcome To Leeds Society of Architects

careyjones, in conjunction with their Clients Berkeley / Crosby, were awarded the commission to master plan Clarence Dock after being selected the outright competition winner. The bid was thoroughly researched and analysed in order to create a genuine mixed use development. The site signifies the resurgence of this area of Leeds City Centre.

careyjones commenced work on the project in 1997, and have designed each individual plot and building. The site, based around the restored Clarence Dock, will provide a suitable setting for the Royal Armouries Museum; thus re-enforcing the site as a destination point for both visitors and residents of the City.

careyjones have obtained an outline planning approval for 110,000 sq m (1,200,000 sq ft) on the site; and are presently working on the detail design of hotels, offices, residential and leisure facilities. The first phase has been finished and the remaining will be completed by 2006. Team work and collaborative effort has typified this project. careyjones have worked very closely with both their clients, Berkeley / Crosby and Leeds City Council, to create a world class mixed use development with a high content of public space.
