ColladoCollins were appointed to develop a detailed Planning Application for three domestic plots in the heart of Loughton. The proposals create a community of 89 apartments with associated amenity spaces for the over 65s. The scheme takes its cues from the surrounding architectural language, interpreting the ‘mock tudor’ houses in a contemporary way to integrate with the wider residential setting.

Set on a highly sustainable transitional site between residential and institutional use and within walking distance of the town centre and tube station, the proposals optimise the use on the site whilst allowing generous space for a landscaped communal courtyard and a series of gardens and terraces around the borders of the site, designed in collaboration with Landscape Architects BBUK.
