The existing brick building is a former factory of Holbeck, now a carpark to the urban village. Surrounded by Globe Road to the North, Water Lane to the South, and additional parking facilities on the East and West, it has an immediate developable area, with minimum affecting factors. The Liverpool-Leeds Canal runs along the South elevation, and has been described by as being a barrier to development and access (1). This does allow for my proposal, as a destination building in its own right, to survive where other proposals have failed due to lack of ‘cross-fertilisation’ by pedestrians.
