Horizon Youth Zone, designed by John Puttick Associates, transforms a cluster of historic Victorian warehouses on the banks of the River Freshney into a vibrant campus dedicated to young people.⁠
⁠
At the heart of the project is the idea that civic architecture can play a meaningful role in community renewal, combining heritage-led regeneration with modern facilities for sport, creativity, wellbeing and social connection.⁠
⁠
Key features include:⁠
• The adaptive reuse of 19th-century riverside warehouses⁠
• A dramatic triple-height social space at the heart of the building⁠
• A new zinc-clad wing housing a sports hall, climbing wall and performance space⁠
• Sustainable strategies delivering significant operational energy improvements⁠
⁠
As John Puttick explains:⁠
“It has been a long and fascinating journey… transforming these historic warehouses into a youth hub has been incredibly rewarding. It’s exciting to see the revival of a key part of Grimsby’s townscape contributing towards renewal of the town centre and the life of the community.”⁠

Brintons has expanded its Country Life collection with four new designs inspired by the textures and rhythms of woodland landscapes.⁠
⁠
Woven from 100% undyed wool, the designs translate elements of the forest floor and tree canopy into tactile carpet patterns, combining sustainable thinking with refined interior aesthetics.⁠
⁠
As Design Manager Jodie Hatton explains:⁠
“The new designs felt like a natural extension to the existing Country Life collection… exploring how shapes found in the forest can be translated through carpet design.”⁠
