People-centred Development

Our scheme in Littlehampton involves the creation of 50no. new high-quality homes and significant public realm design. A series of three low-rise buildings combine to address main streets, as well and form a new public realm – so each building elevation is treated with high design standard as they are in effect all front elevations. A lively, people-centred public realm and landscaped area lies at the heart of the scheme for residents and the wider community to be a part of and engage within; while creating a soft public space against the harder road infrastructure surrounding the site; with plenty of tree planting for carbon sequestration and food-growing.

Working with Urban Symbiotics, each new building retains a similar 3 – 3.5storey scale, reflecting the low-rise nature of the sites’ context. The buildings are orientated to take advantage of natural daylight incorporating dual and triple aspect units; and adopt a fabric-first approach. The public open space is well-overlooked encouraging a safe space for children’s play while creating connections between the site and its wider context.

Littlehampton achieved Planning in December 2020.
