Livingston Eyre Associates are responsible for the design of the public realm for the redevelopment of a considerable part of the centre of Exeter, working alongside three teams of architects and interfacing with the redevelopment of the High Street by the City Council.

The first phase of this major development including Catherine Square and Almshouses were completed in 2005. The final phase is currently under construction.

The site is in the centre of the city in close proximity to the cathedral, and includes a surviving section of the ancient city walls and other significant archaeological features.

The proposals aim to create lively new spaces with strong identities through the use of a carefully considered palette of high quality materials. The design integrates the diverse architectural approaches and knits them into the existing urban fabric of the city.
