In response to affordable housing priority needs, Austin-Smith:Lord were commissioned by Cardiff Community Housing Association to design a new build mixed tenure housing development in a prominent waterside location in Cardiff Bay.

The site layout is based upon the continuation of taller, linear waterside

development with 85 apartments for private sale along the water’s edge, forming an eastern boundary, and 32 high quality affordable family homes in the form of two and three storey houses and townhouses to the west towards the other, existing residential developments which also drop in height and scale away from the waterside. The affordable homes are designed to meet Welsh DQR, Lifetime Homes and RNIB Standards.
