Trowbridge Mawr Residential Development, Cardiff
We were appointed by Cardiff Community Housing Association to develop a design for 34 new-build social rented homes at land off Trowbridge Road in Cardiff. Located alongside the unique context of Gwent Levels’ Site of Specific Scientific Interest, the scheme design creates a place with a strong sense of identity defined by its positive and sensitive relationship to its natural setting.
The layout of the development will provide most homes with views over the pleasant greenery of the preserved and enhanced wooded areas and hedgerows as well as the newly created green open space featuring a pond and stretches with native species of reeds and grasses.
