The Soloist – No 1 Lanyon Place – Belfast
No 1 Lanyon Place is situated adjacent to the Waterfront hall and forms part of the Lanyon Place development spearheaded by the Laganside Corporation. WDR & RT Taggart, in collaboration with Niels Torp Architects of Oslo are currently involved in the final designs of this ground breaking Building.
The objective of the scheme is to create a landmark building that complements the Waterfront hall, and establishes an entrance to the overall Lanyon Place site.
The design has been developed to enhance pedestrian routes through the site, and consists of five storeys of accommodation, with a plant room on the roof. As defined by the Lanyon Place masterplan the roof height lines through with the parapet of Waterfront Hall.
It is proposed that the ground floor will consist of commercial or mixed use, whilst the upper floors will consist of category A commercial office use. A public Arcade slices through the building on a Northeast – Southwest axis and it is envisaged that this exciting space will become the 'heart' of the building accommodating office entrances and lined with cafes, bistros and galleries. Site start is due around November 2007.
