Clients & projects: Canalside Community

In Buckinghamshire, on the fringes of a large park, the Grand Union canal bisects a new community.

To the East of the canal a new narrow boat marina & boat club has been created from neglected scrub-land along with a new pub that enjoys waterside views and woodland walks.

To the West and linked by a new bridge sits a landscaped amphitheatre engaging with the original towpath and leading to larger courtyard apartment buildings that address the wider public realm whilst innovatively designed canalside townhouses respond to the more intimate scale of the canal.

As well as 380 new homes, a convenience store, restaurant & nursery create a vibrant new neighbourhood whilst still allowing canalside walks to be enjoyed by all.
