A London-based landscape architecture and urban design studio has been chosen to lead the transformation of the outdoor areas of Fort Regent – including the envisaged skate park and pump track – as part of the wider £110m regeneration plans for the ageing site.

In a statement, the Jersey Development Company said that Spacehub Design Ltd was chosen following a “rigorous and competitive tender process”.

The States-owned entity noted that there are “no commercial landscape architecture practices currently operating in Jersey”, and that no local firms had entered the tender process.

The news follows the unveiling of the government’s latest vision for the site, which will be closed for around three years while the multi-million-pound regeneration is delivered.

Spacehub, which was founded in 2010, will design a range of outdoor activities and amenities, including a pump track, skate park, ball court, parkour area, outdoor bouldering space and a children’s play garden.

The studio is collaborating with international pump-track design firm Velo Solutions, as well as UK-based skatepark design specialists Maverick Skate.

Announcing Spacehub’s appointment, the JDC said: “Their approach centres on creative thinking, collaboration, and delivering design solutions that respond to the unique character and ecology of each site.”

Other elements of the outdoor plans include enhanced public-realm areas and improved access routes connecting three main levels – Pier Road, the ditch level and the ramparts.

“Accessibility is a central priority within the overall landscape strategy,” the JDC statement continued.

It added that Spacehub is also working with the Fort Regent project team “to involve children and young people in shaping several key outdoor elements of the regeneration” through a series of interactive workshops.

“These workshops form part of a wider programme designed to ensure young people have a meaningful voice in influencing the next chapter of Fort Regent’s transformation, with a particular focus on the design of its outdoor spaces.”
