Lumiere Leeds
A mixed use development comprising residential, including serviced
apartments, retail and commercial use. The scheme consists of two towers,
one that is 171m / 54 storeys high and one that is a 113m / 32 storeys
high.
Our proposal will be a beautiful addition to the skyline of Leeds. It
will act as a landmark building, particularly to those arriving at Leeds
via the central train station. The massing of the towers seeks to act
as a gateway to the city centre while responding to the Park Square Conservation
area and the proposed Hermes development, both of which are adjacent to
the Lumiere site.
