On this tour, we will explore how this development fits into a larger masterplan for Folkestone seafront, with its crescent-shaped buildings designed to maximise on the site's coastal location and the number of units with sea views.
The design team will describe the importance of the surrounding context, including the adjacent heritage buildings and assets.
The tour will include the approach from the boardwalk along the beach, the raised gardens and interior spaces.
Spaces are limited, please book early to avoid disappointment.
