  • Hull Public Realm

    Expanding upon TGA’s involvement in the regeneration of Hull, TGA’s Specialist Lighting team continued to develop its growing public realm portfolio, delivering lighting solutions that support the revitalisation, functionality, visual appeal and accessibility of the city’s urban spaces.

    Project Summary

    TGA were engaged as part of a design team led by LDA Design on a city centre improvement programme for Hull City Council. The project focuses on three key streets within the city centre: High Street, Princes Dock Street and Humber Dock Street. All three locations form part of Hull’s former dockside areas and are an important part of the city’s maritime heritage.

    The scheme aims to improve accessibility, celebrate Hull’s history and create spaces for people to pause and enjoy the city. The project also contributes to the completion of the ‘Maritime Trail’, which connects a number of significant heritage destinations, including TGA projects at Queen’s Gardens and Hull Maritime Museum, helping to strengthen the links between the city’s heritage, Old Town and Fruit Market areas.

    TGA’s Specialist Lighting team was appointed to deliver the lighting design for the project, with a particular focus on Humber Dock Street, located on the edge of the marina. The area has been reimagined through a combination of functional street lighting and decorative lighting elements, creating a safe and welcoming environment while enhancing the character and ambience of the public realm after dark.

    The lighting has been carefully coordinated with the historic environment and landscape features, including the reinstated Hull City Walls and the 1866 single-cylinder winding steam engine, helping to reinforce the area’s maritime heritage and identity.

    TGA’s Mechanical and Electrical Engineering teams have also been appointed to support the project, liaising with statutory authorities and developing the associated electrical infrastructure.
