Northumberland Housing

Embleton

This masterplan looked at creating a new village square for the historic village in Northumberland on the NE coast of England. 

The development site offers an opportunity to provide a variety of high-quality dwellings, much needed by the local community, which sit comfortably within their context and builds on the special character of the conservation area.

The initial study looked at local settlement patterns, vernacular architecture and material palettes. Off-the-shelf Hebhomes designs  were used to help establish building types that could be adapted to provide modern designs but of the appropriate scale for the village.
