Collaborating with two other architectural firms we developed a masterplan centred around ‘sense of place’ with the character of each area deriving from its orientation, topography and location. A holistic and wide-ranging environmental strategy was also developed for both the buildings and the site itself to make the scheme a leading example of a sustainable community and a model for future large scale developments of this type.

The team also carried out a study of European space standards and typologies, and a thorough review of current housing legislation. This concluded with the design of a range of appropriate housing typologies and a series of recommendations for plot development within the context of the wider plan.
