15 February 2021 – The Valley

The landscaping has started to be installed in The Valley, our social housing development in Stanmore, Winchester.

UBU have worked with Snug Architects and Winchester City Council’s New Homes Delivery Team to produce a comprehensive landscape masterplan to deliver 76 new affordable homes.  The scheme provides a mixture of 2 and 3 bedroom houses and 1, 2 and 3 bedroom flats on a very steep challenging site in The Valley.  We designed a contemporary and robust landscape that knits the new development into the existing open parkland

The scheme was developed through a comprehensive process of public engagement with the local community and will deliver much needed affordable housing for the city by realising the potential of an under-utilised open space.

This will be an exciting new addition to an established estate that balances design innovation with contextual sensitivity. It is great to have been part of a development that delivers housing whilst also making meaningful enhancements to the landscape in which it sits.
