This 52-home development demonstrates how contemporary design can create vibrant, community-focused living while respecting local character. The scheme thoughtfully combines varied brick tones and clean render facades with traditional pitched rooflines, creating a modern interpretation that feels both fresh and familiar. Extensive communal green spaces are woven throughout the development, fostering natural gathering points and promoting community interaction while enhancing biodiversity. The varied housing typologies, from terraced homes to semi-detached units, create visual interest along the streetscape while offering choice for different household sizes, delivering much-needed housing that enhances rather than overwhelms its setting.
