Description
- It is a co-housing project.
- It has 42 homes and an apartment building.
- A car-free community lane has been created between the housing rows.
- Vehicular movement is restricted to the edges of the site.
- The “Common House” building contains spaces and amenities for the community and forms the heart of the development.It has a playroom, laundry room, guest rooms.
- The houses are constructed using passive design principles with a prefabricated timber frame panel system.
- A group custom-build approach was undertaken where residents could choose from a few building shell-types.Residents could also choose from a set of standardized floor plans and fittings suited to their requirements.These designs were decided based on a participatory process involving the cohousing groups.
- Housing typologies include terraced homes and Tyneside flats.The apartment building is accessed from the Common House building and is designed as per HAPPI (Housing our Ageing Population Panel for Innovation) principles and is suitable for older residents.
- Innovative technologies like cross laminated timber,triple-glazed windows and doors and air-source heat pumps are used in the homes.
- A large south facing garden which contains areas with trees as well as a community vegetable garden
