Feedback from two stages of community engagement in 2023 has suggested people want to see exemplary design. World-renowned firm Zaha Hadid Architects are engaged to create the buildings and are working with landscape architects at LDA Design who are developing (or curating) the new public spaces.

The designs seek to create a new landmark on this prominent city centre site that work with the grain of Bristol’s architecture. Legal & General is now sharing updated and more detailed artist’s impressions of what Temple Island could look like.

A riverside walk connecting to Brock’s Bridge and St. Philip’s Bridge provides a new pedestrian path opening up public access along the River Avon including riverside gardens between the residential blocks with walking loops, a play trail, integrated play spaces, seating and public art.

The square will be a generous public space for gathering and meeting, as well as forming part of commuting routes. Trees, plants, water and public art will define different areas.

Zaha Hadid Architects has delivered some of the most recognisable buildings across the world, in cities such as Rome, London, Madrid and Beijing. Their “Morpheus” hotel won multiple global awards for architecture – but just as importantly they and Legal & General are committed to work with the grain of Bristol’s architecture.
