creating realistic deliverable waterfront development concepts

SUSTAINABLE MASTERPLANS FOR ALL CLIENTS & STAKEHOLDERS

Master planning is the process that aims to establish the vision & aspiration of any waterfront scheme within the context of its surroundings and wider development proposals. It is an integral part of the concept design process.

THE MASTER PLANNING PROCESS:

Master planning is the lead discipline for many of our projects, which can include various stages such as concept master plan and detailed master plan before advancing to a developed design process. Once finalised, the masterplan defines the key aims & objectives of the waterfront development, including considerations such as;

Synergy with landside uses
Avoiding conflict
Operational requirements and function
User groups
Market opportunities
Site constraints & opportunities
Incorporating marine servicing requirements

Transport and access
Climate change
Landownership
Residential and social infrastructure
Commerce (hotels, bars, shops, cafes)
Employment
Local heritage
Environmental sustainability

Marina projects Master planning services

A well-considered masterplan that creates the right relationship between land and water-based activities, is critical to the success of any marina and waterfront development.

At Marina Projects, we strive to unlock the value of the land-water interface and in doing so we work in conjunction with architects and other professionals to develop effective, workable plans for mixed use waterfront and marina development schemes.

the framework for financial planning and evaluation

We identify core aims and objectives with our clients and address the fundamental criteria for a successful waterfront development. Masterplans often create a distinct vision and architectural style.

Our masterplans act as a framework for financial planning and evaluation and provide an invaluable marketing tool. With analysis, recommendations and proposals based on detailed market research, surveys, stakeholder consultation, existing developments, site constraints & opportunities, and client requirements. Our masterplans provide a sound baseline upon which to build detailed marina designs.

the basis for future growth AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Our masterplans provide a framework to achieve future growth and development objectives, whilst also considering the legislation, technical and environmental requirements. The masterplan informs more detailed subsequent project stages such as viability assessments & feasibility studies which are completed with due consideration to business planning and operational requirements. This often leads to an iterative design development process.

Our master planners not only understand the technical requirements for any successful marina development design but also how it can be integrated into the wider masterplan to shape the future of a location, impacting on wellbeing, work and lifestyle.
