Dominick Street Regeneration Project
Mixed-use development delivering 72 social housing units (67 apartments, 5 houses), with a community centre, retail and commercial units at ground level, over basement car parking, storage and plant rooms. Arranged in multiple blocks, it integrates with the historic streetscape, introduces high-quality contemporary architecture, and enhances the public realm within a wider urban regeneration framework.
Dominick Street Regeneration Project
Mixed-use development delivering 72 social housing units (67 apartments, 5 houses), with a community centre, retail and commercial units at ground level, over basement car parking, storage and plant rooms. Arranged in multiple blocks, it integrates with the historic streetscape, introduces high-quality contemporary architecture, and enhances the public realm within a wider urban regeneration framework.
The project is located on a brownfield site at the edge of the town, adjoining existing housing estates behind the main street. The design strategy introduces a new urban square that integrates the development into the town’s structure. It is planned in two phases: Phase 1 delivers 22 social housing units arranged around the central space, while Phase 2 will add 13 more to complete the square.

The proposal incorporates the concept of extensible housing, aligned with Lifetime Homes principles, ensuring long-term adaptability at low cost. Each dwelling allows for flexible layouts, potential lift installation, and ground-floor sleeping arrangements. Additionally, a pre-designed attic space enables easy future expansion into extra rooms. Permeability is enhanced through a pedestrian pathway connecting surrounding estates to the main street, while simple building forms define a clear and legible public realm focused on the new square.
