Brownfield site
The design of an Exemplar Sustainable Residential Town Centre Development on a brownfield site that took advantage of strong passive solar design opportunities. The public realm and spatial configuration were designed to encourage residents to linger and interact. A new public square formed the focus for the design located at the intersection of routes to and from the local primary school and town centre. A local shop and café is located on the square. The site is bounded by a well defined belt of mature trees and shrubs that were retained, and complimented with much new planting.
