Development: Visualisation
The Heartlands Project is a community-led vision to transform 7.5ha of Cornwall’s most derelict industrial landscape into a truly inspirational cultural attraction.
LUC won an international competition to masterplan and design an imaginative mixed-use site that would become a catalyst for regeneration in the future. Working with a large multidisciplinary team, for the client Cornwall Council, our team delivered a project that referenced Cornwall’s history and the site’s heritage, making it a space that fosters convergence and reflection.
Our design aimed to capture the spirit of Cornwall, providing dynamic new spaces for the community and visitors to enjoy. The masterplan included places to relax in the Diaspora Gardens, an outdoor events space and surrounding parkland. We also created the largest free adventure playground in Cornwall, with play specialists Timberplay. Revelling in Cornish folklore, the playground includes custom-made wooden climbing structures, tunnels and a beach with diggers and a sand transportation system.
The development also encompassed the Grade II listed Robinson’s Shaft, which was restored to provide a gateway for the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site, artists’ studios and residential units.
