Folkestone Harbour

Folkestone masterplan preserves the nature of the site as a public space, a beach for everyone, and a place to find things not found elsewhere. The masterplan has been shaped to preserve the existing historic harbour and station, maximise public space and to give the development a coherent architectural language reflecting the heritage of grand seaside estates.

Over the last 10 years, the Folkestone Harbour Company and a number of other charities have invested to build new schools and theatres, to reinvigorate the high street and to shape a new identity and purpose. The harbour area has sat closed and abandoned since 2006. The challenge of the project is to imbue this long neglected, but highly attractive part of town with a distinctive character that is at once new and an integral part of Folkestone.
