The Echo development, located in the emerging East Bank area of Leeds, provides over 450 units of residential accommodation and 70,000 sq ft of office space all located on a major arterial route into the city. The design for this highly prominent development has taken its lead from an art inspired approach to architecture. Working with an artist and sculptor throughout the design process, DLA's plans for the buildings at Echo have a unique sculptural and artistic influence. In addition to the residential and commercial accommodation, Echo will have a truly European feel to it due to the provision of public open space in the form of a 'Pocket Park'.
