Located on the edge of the village of Batheaston, this project for 20 houses, 10 apartments and clubhouse facilities is for a new model community for the active and retired. Arranged around a common pedestrian ‘yard’ the residents enjoy common facilities including gym, bar, library, function space and a wildlife water meadow with the wider community. Parking is provided in a basement car park. The buildings are designed to respond to the local agricultural tradition, maintain a modern appearance and provide connected digital facilities for residents within the highly insulated and energy efficient homes.
