The Design Process
A team including Karakusevic Carson Architects, Henley Halebrown Architects, Stephen Taylor Architects and Townshend Landscape Architects were appointed in March 2015 to prepare a masterplan and detailed proposals for the estate. Over a period of almost 2 years the design team met regularly with the nightingale residents in the development of the proposals culminating in the submission of a planning application in July 2016. Planning Approval was granted in January 2017.
