Urban housing
We have been creating popular, durable, award-winning homes for diverse communities throughout the UK for over 40 years. Today, many of the approaches we pioneered, from community engagement and respect for context to regeneration of brownfield land and tenure-blind housing, are now accepted as best practice.
We create all types of homes for all types of people: from social housing and starter-homes to luxury apartments and Later Living and extra-care schemes. High-density urban housing is another speciality with our designs providing genuine alternatives to the suburban house and garden model.
Whether transforming urban areas through gradual mending or implementing radical change. regeneration is central to what we do. It is a long-term commitment. We often spend ten years or more on programmes of incremental improvement, giving others confidence to invest in an area.
We specialise in combining affordable and market homes, whether for rent or sale, within integrated mixed-use developments – with workspace, schools, shops and leisure facilities - wherever they are needed: from rundown or affluent residential areas to vacated industrial districts.
