Grimshaw?s design for start-up incubator adds key project to Bristol?s enterprise zone

Grimshaw?s portfolio of workplace design has expanded with a new project in the dynamic Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone. Working for Skanska, the practice is developing a master plan for Bristol Temple Square, as well as a building within the site to house Engine Shed 02, a start-up incubator and co-working space.

This development will form a dynamic and visitor-friendly link between the Bristol Temple Meads Railway Station and the city centre. The master plan encompasses a newly created site which unlocks a previously isolated piece of land. It prioritises pedestrians and cyclists with a new walkway, the Brunel Mile, and a new public square set to reinvigorate the area. Grimshaw?s scheme for Engine Shed 02 breathes new life into the long derelict, Grade II listed George and Railway Hotel, elegantly connecting a new six storey office and co-working space. Proposing over 43,000 sq ft of floor space, the building is adaptable and column-free, with configurable spaces suited to the current and future needs of Bristol?s start-up and business community.
