Project Brief

A project in the heart of Birmingham: One and Two Chamberlain Square contributed to one of Birmingham’s largest regeneration projects ever undertaken. With a budget of £700 million, the project regenerated the Paradise Circus area.

Chamberlain Square is one of the most historic corners of the city and has seen a lot of changes through the last hundred and eighty years from when it was first laid out at the junction between Edmund Street and Congreve Passage in the 1840s. In the intervening years the square has formed a backdrop to the Town Hall and the Council House as well as the former Mason College and the original Reference Library.

Totalling 350,000 sq ft of space One and Two Chamberlain Square will now face onto the square. This will once more make Chamberlain Square a natural meeting point in the very heart of the city, with its wide bleacher-style seating areas and natural amphitheatre shape, the square lends itself to being a centre for public events and performances.
