FOLKESTONE WINS KENT DESIGN AWARDS
Folkestone Harbour has won the 2018 Kent Design Awards. When the Folkestone Harbour Station closed in 2014, ownership passed to the harbour company, and the decision was made to make the Harbour Arm and the Station accessible to public.
Following years of restoration, the harbour arm has been opened as a food and leisure destination. The station has been restored, railway tracks retained, and the viaduct repaired. They are now forming a green pedestrian walkway, linking the town to the harbour and bringing into public use an essential part of Folkestone's Marine Infrastructure.
Duarte Lobo Antunes and João Bras from ACME were delighted to pick up the award as winners of the Infrastructure category.
