A semi-rural development on the northern fringes of Bordon.
The Alderholt Meadows masterplan proposes four characterful and well-connected residential neighbourhoods, all within walking distance of a new mixed-use Local Centre and sitting within a rich matrix of public open space.
Sat to the South of the town of Alderholt, within Dorset, the masterplan seamlessly stitches into the existing setting.
This carefully considered design combines a full range of community facilities, meeting places and hubs that encourage social interaction. With a total of 1700 homes, the design is structured around a network of green corridors, that connect homes with amenities.
Forged into “pockets of place”, every journey and every facility present an opportunity for social interaction and function; creating sensations of ownership and community.
The Local Centre includes a Market Square, a local pub and a whole host of facilities. This hub sits within a matrix of journeys that connect with all neighbourhoods, and a rich tapestry of other community-driven heartlands, with access to open space resource for the whole village.
Along with a detailed master plan, SWA acted as lead urban designers and architects, managing all disciplines. This collaborative and united approach ensured that all design features, technical needs and BNG all merged into one holistic design.
Our input included design visions, an architectural design code and detailed designs for house types and key buildings.
The work on this project is ongoing and we look forward to this exciting scheme evolving further, with updates coming soon.
