The Oracle Design Review

Since our inception as a practice (and indeed prior to the formation of UPL), members of our team have supported Reading Borough Council and provided design advice on some of the largest projects to come forward in the town. These include the significant Station Hill, Civic Quarter, Kings Point and more recently, the part-redevelopment of Reading’s Oracle shopping centre.
We collaborated with both RBC and Hammerson’s architects CRTKL on the convening of a series of design workshops to mediate a design impasse on this important redevelopment scheme, advising on policy, character and detailed design to arrive at a satisfactory suite of improvements acceptable to both applicant and RBC.
