We like to do things properly at edge, no matter what the scale of the project. We always look at the wider context as part of our initial analysis of a settlement, but equally important is then plugging in our proposals into the bigger picture. This helps illustrate our overall vision for putting forward a logical extension to the settlement.⠀

We want to design places where people will wish to live and be proud to call home! Homes will reflect the character and aesthetic quality of the wider Wymeswold area as well as mirroring design features, whilst delivering house designs that meet minimum space standards and reflecting modern ways of living. Homes need to be designed with longevity in mind, allowing them to be flexible and adaptable in order to encourage residents to stay for longer depending on changing life circumstances. People and a sense of community are what make a place extra special!⠀

It is so important that our site proposals form a logical extension to the settlement grounded in our understanding of the place and the technical constraints. At Wymeswold, we were inspired by the many existing positive qualities of the village, with the masterplan concept proposing to enhance the landscape character, protect its relationship with the adjoining Conservation Area and recognise the historic development pattern. Is it a @hanny_smart drawing or has @tereza.kadlec.ova learnt from the master?!⠀

Alongside our understanding of the wider context of a settlement, it is crucial for us to have a strong understanding of the technical constraints that a site presents us with. We are firm believers in proposals that are robust and deliverable and as such use this as a strong basis to get our creative juices flowing safe, in the knowledge that we are responding to key influencing considerations.⠀

We like to understand a place intimately so that we can design and create new places that respond to the existing character and unique history. Wymeswold has a bowl-like character, with the existing settlement largely not extending beyond the 85m contour. Our masterplan ensures that development is retained below the 85m contour, respecting the character of historic growth and views in and out of the village.⠀

The masterplan is comprised of a number of layers built upon the character of the existing landscape and the rich heritage and views that have helped to create a series of programmatic layers. ⠀
⠀
Seven core masterplan principles have been developed to guide, curate and reinforce the masterplanning process.⠀

The concept for the masterplan for Harrington is one based upon the existing landscape character of the place and its history. ⠀
⠀
Edge are specialists in creating places that are designed around existing landscape character. Our deep understanding of the landscape has created a series of key vistas and views, created to orientate streets, spaces and places within the proposal and give Harrington a true distinctiveness and a relationship with its place.⠀
