- Multi-disciplinary design team with CH2M Hill and Halcrow
- Reference designs for the two new head houses for the Environmental Agencies Cable Diversion Project located either side of the lock, serving Ipswich Marina
- Development of the approved reference designs through to tender
- Seen as a pair when entering or leaving the lock whilst also retaining an element of individuality
- The head houses are sleek brick envelopes with an element of patterned brickwork to the lock facades
- External materials are light brown Flemish brickwork and grey metal doors and louvres which provide a durable, secure and low maintenance solution whilst also responding to the context of the site which has a mixture of brick and industrial buildings
