Middleton Towers, Morecambe
This site is the first of a proposed series of redevelopment plots on the former Pontins site in Morecambe. It boasts sea views and a coastal boundary along the foreshore. Middleton Towers was once the largest holiday camp in the Pontins empire, boasting nearly 900 chalets and many attractions including an entertainment centre in the style of an ocean liner, a 2000 seat theatre, a large swimming pool and its own pub, now all demolished ready for much needed redevelopment.
This scheme provides 8no. executive style 4/5bed homes. The houses are designed to maximise the view across the bay, with large format full height glazing, framed within feature gables. The approach to materials is sympathetic to the local context, which is predominantly stone and render.
The site is also adjacent 3no. heritage assets, all Grade II Listed Buildings, a Tower, the Ye Olde Farmhouse and the Tudor Bar, which were all retained and protected whilst used as part of the Holiday camp.
