The masterplan for this twelve-acre site in Trowse Newton, Norfolk provides seventy-six new houses and community facilities. The site is part of an established nineteenth century village that was a pioneering model of social and architectural philanthropy. The new development conserves and enhances the historic village setting, sympathetically integrating the new with the existing. The focus of the scheme is a crescent of houses at the end of the village street, incorporating the existing public house. This crescent encloses a new village green, a focus for community activities. A pair of red brick houses with Dutch gables mark the centre of the crescent and the route to the main square and children’s play area.
