Architects Habitat+ have submitted proposals for the extension of a single-storey building at Blackpole Business Centre, off Blackpole Road, to Worcester City Council. According to the plans, the footprint of the building would be increased by about 29 per cent should the proposal be given the go-ahead by city planners. CLADDING: Plans include an extension and re-cladding the existing building (Image: Habitat+)"The proposal has been carefully developed to provide a sensitive and complementary extension to the existing building, alongside the recladding of the current structure," documents state. "The design approach draws upon the building’s rhythm and proportions, seeking to reinforce and elevate its established form and appearance while enhancing the building’s functionality without compromising its setting."
