Where once sat a substantial industrial block are now three apartment buildings with splayed arrangement to maximise natural light and views. The breaks between the buildings accommodate new podium gardens and a new walking route from the Goose Green Marsh, through the Pavilions development and public car park, to a bus stop on La Route de la Haule and the beach beyond.

The project development boundary included landscape improvements across multiple land ownership. Mutual consent allowed the rationalisation of multiple material finishes across a busy interface of businesses and residential use. Access and environment for adjacent homes and businesses have been improved through a newly designed public car park and a raised traffic table that prioritises pedestrian routes and crossing points. Once a rat run for vehicles seeking a bypass for queues on the coast road; noise disturbance and pedestrian safety has been improved by breaking up straight runs in the public car park to force drivers to adopt an indirect route and a slower, safer driving speed.

Public footways, parking and delivery zones have been renewed beside the Coop and a heritage, tumbled block paving used to renovate the forecourt and parking to 3no traditional cottages neighbouring the site and marshland.

A timeless, premium stone-effect paving with 50% recycled content ensures a high-quality finish to The Pavilions and the listed former bakery (redeveloped for commercial use). The paving is specified in tones of grey and pink utilising natural stone aggregate that is reminiscent of Jersey’s local granite. Natural, chunky timber elements have been used in the form of contemporary bench seating and parking pergola.

Wellbeing and sustainable travel is forefront by provision of safe walking routes, bicycle parking and electric vehicle charging points. A new pedestrian bridge delivers walkers to a further network of hoggin pathways encircling the Goose Green Marsh.

The marshland interface has been enriched with new planting including Alder trees to expand existing numbers on site and verges containing new native mixed hedging, scrub and meadow grasses. Managed for ecology these new wildlife corridors provide sustenance and shelter for wildlife and were selected for tolerance of both a coastal and marshland setting.  The public car park contains engineered, shallow tree pits beneath its paving (due to a high water table) to introduce a green softness to this previously fully concrete zone. The podium gardens are planted with a mix of grasses and ornamental shrub and herbaceous planting for year-round, seasonal interest.
