ABRACAD Architects

We were employed by Bracknell Forest Borough Council to help develop an Urban Design policy for Bracknell town centre and were part of the Town Centre Forum. For many years we have been promoting the potential for the improvement of Bracknell town centre and now developers are queueing up with major projects in mind. We hope that some of our requests and ideas are included, such as a more human character to replace the concrete, underpasses and prominent multi-storey car parks.
Our ideas included making landmarks of roundabouts, making 'gateways' into the town, getting rid of an inner ring road which is acting as a restrictive collar, facing shops outwards, linking up walkways and creating a park by the station, making more surface level short-term parking, adding residential accommodation and leisure facilities/cafes, improved landscaping and higher density development like traditional towns to produce a more human and vibrant atmosphere.
The Council also employed us to convert a redundant office block into flats - the building has since been converted into an hotel
