Sustainability is embedded throughout the scheme’s architecture, layout and energy strategy. Relocating the energy centre to the middle of the site shortens pipe runs, reduces energy loss and improves maintenance access. This move also enabled a more generous and active public realm. Housing typologies have been redesigned to minimise embodied carbon, parapet roofs support more efficient PV arrays, while internal layouts reduce material waste and improve thermal performance. Natural ventilation strategies, dual-aspect flats and high-performance materials support low operational energy use. These measures help maintain affordability without compromising quality.
