![]() The lower buildings, facing south, keep the riverfront pedestrian-friendly and human-scaled. “By placing the tallest office buildings along the north, facing the railway, we will create a noise-blocking acoustic barrier. “The scale-gradient strategy is the direct result of thermal microclimate analysis,” said Kurek.

The scheme rests on a microclimate framework designed to expand the comfortable outdoor season onsite from nine weeks in the year to 25. The project aims to fully activate the potential of River Lagan by creating a year-round vibrant community complete with cultural venues, leisure and retail facilities, 750 homes, hotels, and office spaces with a total build-up area of nearly 158,000 m 2 (1.7 million sf). The Belfast Waterside development is set to become the single largest development in Belfast’s recent history. River Lagan will no longer be a division in Belfast but a connection-a hub-instead.”Īcross Europe, cities are in the process of regenerating old industrial areas along their waterfronts, Henning Larsen said. “From Copenhagen, we know harbors and rivers have enormous potential to attract and activate public life in a city. “We saw a truly special opportunity in this ambitious project to bring a Nordic understanding of the public realm to Belfast,” said Jacob Kurek, Henning Larsen partner. The scheme places the public at the heart of the development, removing existing boundary walls and improving public access to a long-hidden corner of the city. The 2.6-ha (6.4-acre) site, located on the site of a former Sirocco Engineering Works factory, will transform an area on the east bank of the river that has been disused for nearly two decades. Henning Larsen has been granted planning approval by the Belfast City Council for the Belfast Waterside development, located along the banks of River Lagan, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.ĭesigned by Henning Larsen, the Belfast Waterside development, located along the banks of River Lagan, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, has officially been granted planning approval by the Belfast City Council after a year in the planning approval process. ![]()
