The aim of this project proposed to make Civic Square the central hub of Hastings City’s arts, culture and heritage, promoting cultural connectedness and civic pride. In addition to showcasing local art and culture, the client requested the project allow for new opportunities for economic and retail growth.
Taking into consideration the retention of existing buildings, Enlocus were required to further provide multifunctional spaces, catering for potential exhibitions, performances and meetings. The project enhanced the overall visual experience of the Square from Eastbourne Street, while catering to public transportation and parking. Civic Square is an innovative public space which provides an opportunity for enjoyment and public engagement.
