Radbrook Village

Radbrook Village, our four-phased masterplan, is an impressive development designed to create a diverse community.

The project brings 126 new and refurbished homes, with improved surrounding landscape making the most of its rural setting. The development retains and adapts a number of key buildings including the listed Radbrook Hall, that creates a character setting and maintains a link with the past and the heritage of the site.

At its heart the project prioritises inclusivity, providing a mixture of affordable family homes, apartments remodelled in the historic Victoria buildings and independent living for the older generation.

The overall intent was to create homes that would stand apart from other local, more traditional housing schemes and meet the needs of a range of generations.

This created an opportunity to develop a modern feel to the designs; open plan living spaces, lots of natural daylight, roof lighting and void spaces and a clean and fresh approach to external detailing. The use of ‘Building for Life 12”, a Government endorsed industry standard in housing development design, as a briefing guide enabled us to structure discussions with our client, stakeholders and Shropshire Planning to help establish the principles for a ‘well designed place’ and nurture a sense of community.

To fulfil this, the development is split into ‘character zones’ each with their own architectural and landscape identity. Not only make the site easy to distinguish and navigate, but also give residents the opportunity to live exactly how they want to.
