Knights Park is a large-scale, vibrant mixed-use development nestled between the folds of Robingate, Gregg’s and Lambert’s Woods. The first phase of development comprises 540 new houses and apartments, a new primary school and a series of supporting retail and community uses.

Conceived as a new urban village, the design takes a highly CONTEXTUAL approach, utilising locally relevant materials and familiar vernacular forms and design features, whilst retaining and enhancing the existing landscape character of the area.  The development is conceived as an integrated ‘village’ of specific neighbourhoods, linked by a series of distinct landscape spaces running through the centre of the site, that allow visual and physical permeability throughout the community, reinforcing the prominence and integration of the wider landscape setting.

The various different types and scale of place and space, from open residential streets to intimate courtyard spaces and shared lanes create a sense of individual identity and ownership for residents, whilst the architectural form and detailing create a coherent, integrated village character and context.

This project was designed in collaboration with Dandara Ltd and John Thompson & Partners.
