Mixed Use

We believe a mixed use approach is fundamental to creating a strong sense of place and achieving long-term sustainability through social and economic growth. Working across urban environments, garden cities, green belt schemes and residential-led developments, we use our specialist masterplanning skills to combine retail, leisure, health, education, commercial, workplace, and residential facilities in one easily accessible, central destination. As traditional living, working and travelling models evolve, we embrace the idea of 15-minute neighbourhoods, to create resilient spaces, which truly serve their communities.

People are at the heart of our approach. Sharing the same facilities and including spaces such as communal gardens, community centres, and recreation areas encourage positive social interaction – providing many long-term benefits. Improved civic pride, morale, and neighbourly behaviour have a positive impact on the safety and security of a place. While reduced isolation enhances the health and wellbeing of everyone.

We look to re-use and repurpose existing sites and buildings – which also helps to preserve local history and the character of a place. As well as providing opportunities for greener travel, by improving connectivity and access to public transport, alongside cycle and pedestrian routes.
