One Portwall Square

Overview

Portwall Gate is a new-build office for independent developer Nord on a site close to Bristol Temple Meads railway station. The site was originally part of 100 Temple Street, a large office building designed by John Wells-Thorpe during the 1970s including a raised squash court with parking below. The new-build scheme replaces the disused squash court with a six storey freestanding office building, set back from Portwall Lane to create a lively pocket square at ground level.
