CURZON STREET STATION RE-DEVELOPMENT
URBAN ROOM BY INGLEWOOD ASSOCIATES
THE PROPOSAL
This proposal is for the redevelopment and reuse of Curzon Street Station as an Urban Room, a space where members of the public can visit to learn about what constitutes good design in their local built environment. In the innovative emerging quarter of Birmingham, the Curzon Street Terminus could provide the appropriate space for Birmingham’s Urban Room.
TIMELINE SUMMARY
The building will contain a mixture of clean small and large open spaces, which could play host to a combination of uses, including exhibitions, workshops and seminars, along with spaces for office use, filming and artist performance space.

GROUND FLOOR
RECEPTION The entrance level to the building is set to create an innovative interactive journey, where visitors can become physically and visually involved in exhibited work.
SECOND FLOOR
The top level is set to create clean, bright and open spaces, adequately for office usage. These spaces shall seek to obtain one-off, short and long term tenants in key premium office space in an iconic historical building.
The entrance foyer will contain the model of the City Core integrated as part of an installation, situated beneath a reinforced temporary glass floor, fully equipped with disability access ramps and handrails.
The spaces shall include a mixture of large and small fully furnished offices, with an adjoining shared kitchenette and toilets, similar to the layout on the first floor. KITCHENETTE
LOBBY
The Eastside quarter section of the model will be physically brought up to an interactive level, with spare pieces where local people can showcase how they would like to see their local area redeveloped.

The first level is set to establish a sharing, learning and administrative environment, with bright, clean and open spaces.
SUSTAINABILITY
The integration of the Solar Photovoltaic Panels aims to reduce the Urban Rooms annual utility costs and to enhance Curzon Street Station’s energy efficiency.
This floor will contain a combination of permanent office space for MADE and temporary office space to let, with a shared kitchenette and toilets, alongside a media theatre to share ideas between professionals and engage with local people through scheduled seminars.
Birmingham’s Urban Room could seek to integrate a rainfall harvesting system in the future, if the temporary use becomes feasible enough to warrant the upfront expenditure.
These seminars could be held regularly addressing different topics and issues in Birmingham’s built environment in a planning, development and urban design context.
This energy efficiency system could help to further reduce Birmingham’s Urban Room annual utility costs and water wastage, at a time where Birmingham City Council (2014) are seeking to reduce water wastage across the city.
SITE LAYOUT
This engagement will help to bridge the professional-public relationship gap in planning and development, particularly with hard to reach members of the public who may not have access to the internet.

MADE OFFICE SPACE
STAFF ROOM
MEDIA THEATRE
The exterior facades of the station and outside space are set to enhance the views from the public realm and surrounding uses, including the Woodman public house, Millennium Point, the Think-Tank Science Park Garden and Eastside’s City Park.
