PRINTWORKS, READING.

There is much to like about this small development of houses and apartments being built by Bellway Homes on former Penguin books print works site in central Reading.  Self contained studios above garages, rooftop gardens, car charging points and a car club scheme all provide contemporary edges to suit current lifestyle trends. Overseas investors have been snapping these units up as imminent TFL links into central London further strengthen  the appeal of its location.

KINGMAN WAY, NEWBURY RACECOURSE.

It was with some excitement that I recently managed to visit Frankel House, built by David Wilson Homes and offering incredible views across the racecourse. When on the balcony of an apartment here,  I’m sure you would feel like your in the  grandstand as a race unwinds in front of you. The design also very much reflects a grandstand so that the horses won’t be spooked thinking they are running towards a housing estate and not the finishing post! The concept of introducing housing into a national sporting venue has been very successfully achieved here and it is no surprise that Sandown Racecourse is now looking to follow suit.

As one of the founding Rock Star chef and restaurteurs, having seen his national bar and restaurant group fall into administration following COVID 19 it is heartening to see Mar Hix bounce back from his  Dorset origins by opening this Fish Truck selling local catch, some of which he smokes at home in a garden shed..He has been quoted as saying that being able to start again has been an ‘Act of Cod’. I’m sure it won’t be long before he gets his name back in lights on the global stage and others will take inspiration from his journey during these troubled times.

It will create 3000 jobs when complete. Whilst the design of the 18 storey hotel building is concerning locals Gerry Clarkson and his team at Ashford Borough Council should be congratulated for championing another major investment scheme into the town.

Wokingham Borough Council should be applauded for stepping up and delivering and £125m multi phased regeneration of theri town centre. With the financial challenges facing high streets across the world it is imperative that the public sector step in and take a long term view. Town centres can then be remodelled to provide attractive streets and places offering suitable shops, entertainment venues and eating places that will provide a springboard to  local economies and communities going foward.. This project involves a full scope of mixed uses including retail, cinema, hotel, residential, extensive public realm and a variety of leisure facilities.

NORTH QUAY, HAYLE.

It is with some relief that having obtained permission for the original masterplan and enabling works over ten years ago, the first housing on North Quay, Hayle is now coming forward. The original native architect, Matt Willaims of FCB Studios has stayed with the project throughout. His design thoughtfully echoes the narrow wharfe lanes of the historic railway routes that originally weaved around the old quay buildings. The views of the tidal harbour and estuary together with ease of access to the golden beaches of St Ives Bay provide spectacular selling points for this long awaited scheme.

While the 239 new homes have been designed to meet the needs of diverse households, the development focuses on creating an intergenerational and supportive community. Having listened to the local community heigher ceiling heights, wider garage widths and large public open spaces are being built into build specifications. The aim is unusually not profit but seeking to find a new neighbourhood blueprint that others may wish to follow and replicate across the country.

SPRINGFIELD GARDENS, SOUTHMOOR.

Springfield Meadows is a small development of 25 climate
positive houses on low density layout incorporating a wildflower meadow,
orchard and pond. The mix of private and affordable units have all been
designed to Passivhaus standards. A mix of hot and cold ventilation systems,
photovoltaics combined with highly thermal efficient floors and walls provide a
balanced output of ‘ net zero energy’. This has been achieved with build costs
only nominally in excess of standard traditional build rates. Once volume house
builders start adopting this approach on a large scale there is no doubt
opportunity for these costs to reduce significantly. Greencore Construction are
clearly ahead of the curve here and are now ramping up to build 100 units next

Distinctive developments zones were created complementing the setting and scale of the listed buildings  and surrounding housing using the existing topography to define their boundaries. These zones create a collegiate sense of place in a car free environment.  Several complimenting external cladding materials were used for the buildings with distinctive external staircases for each block which allows residents to experience the landscaping and  views across the city. The main historical convent building, and chapel have been converted to provide communal facilities. The internal fit out of these areas is befitting of the overall quality of the scheme to the envy of many a university student across the country.

The scheme reconciles the character of the existing site with the style of the new buildings. The roof line, which follows a sawtooth pattern that mimics the existing buildings, is a nice touch that further enhances the integration of old and new.Houses will be constructed to the Passivhaus standard incorporating super insulated, airtight buildings that will also incorporate sophisticated heat recovery systems which capture waste heat and reuse it for heating.

Instead of traditional brickwork a facade of terracotta tiles were designed by a local ceramisist and artist which are self cleaning and reflect the natural surrounds. It also changes colour in different light conditions thus creating a ‘chameleon-effect’. Three types of panel were designed to give texture and depth to the three sided tower.

The benefits of this construction method will increase further as the market grows and matures.  We predict the variety of cladding materials that  can be used will present opportunities for bold and innovative facade designs. These should create variety and vibrancy to the established street scene or estate but may test the resolve of planning authorities in some locations!

The communal garden helps to foster a sense of community between occupants.

With a growing ageing population, we predict major housebuilders will increasingly turn their attention to the retirement sector as a variety of product on large sites will increase annual sales rates and help meet national build targets whilst also releasing previously oversized family homes into the local market.
