Mixed use development on the edge of Poole, incorporating retail and leisure use at ground floor.
A design-and-build development of an earlier design, this five-storey development comprises a new 127-bedroom Travel Lodge hotel, retail units, café/restaurant and gymnasium. The building is steel-framed with metal studwork in-fill construction. Bedrooms & bathrooms are provided as modular pods, giving efficiency and speed of construction, high levels of quality control and economies of scale.
This was a previously developed ‘brown-field’ site, thus avoided use of undeveloped land. However remediation against several forms of contamination was required. Despite the challenges of the site, a BREEAM “Very good” was achieved.
