Elstree, a community housing project, contains over 50 newly built houses with community living facilities.
The existing site has a strong farm and equestrian centre character. It is located on the rural edge of Borehamwood, within Green Belt, surrounded by open fields and a golf course. From the existing access point, the site is defined by a courtyard entrance space with a residential dwelling and various barns that give the estate a rustic country house character. The rest of the site comprises stables and associated equestrian facilities.
Given its existing state, the initially proposed designs for the site layout appeared to be suburban with a mixture of semi-detached, detached, and terraced dwellings with two apartment blocks set within a ridged road network and areas of formal greenspace.
Our design approach uses courtyards framed by overlooking dwellings with integrated parking and landscaping, highlighting the listed barn whilst providing a contemporary house type.
Elstree Field is located in Hertfordshire, Eastern England, three miles southeast of Radlett, five miles east of the central town of Watford, and 12 miles northwest of London. This development lies 12 miles northwest of Greater London, making it convenient and easy to reach.
