The new Soar Island creates a community with a distinct identity. Our proposal builds on the specific sense of place on this special island, set apart from, yet linked physically and historically with the city.
This competition winning vision sees Soar Island become Fayre Isle – Leicester’s new home for local festivals, craft enterprise and low-impact living. A thriving neighbourhood that enhances habitats for flora, fauna and people alike, Fayre Isle provides shared community spaces, wildlife reserves, spectacular waterside viewing points and new homes that won’t cost the earth.
