At 685 new homes, The Phoenix unlocks one of the largest housing allocation sites in the South Downs National Park. Importantly the tenure mix will include over 200 affordable homes of which 92 will be Lewes Low-Cost Affordable Rent (linked to median income not the market). The masterplan's plot ratio is similar to the local plan reference scheme and is equivalent to the existing town centre. The scale of the project’s edges has been carefully modulated to address the existing context including the Conservation Area(s) and The Pells. Seen from Wiley’s Bridge, this image shows the varied waterfront character with @ashsakulaarchitects’s Parcel 1 buildings in the foreground and one of the larger courtyard blocks to the mid-ground towards the left of the image.

This microdistrict project was created on the basis of the principles of "New Urbanism". It is a mixture of people (of different ages, races, wealth) and a mixture of the architecture (administrative, public and residential buildings). A comfortable living environment includs green pedestrian routes, bike paths, places for collecting and sorting garbage in underground parking lots, and a humane number of floors of residential buildings, which is so necessary for Vladivostok city. The concept of the residential complex was based on an analysis of the pedestrian activities of the residents of this area. Self-organized squares (points of attraction) and the most logical directions from the complex were taken as the basis of the pedestrian frame. You can look at the brainstorming in details in a previous post. #masterplan #microdistrict #urban #city #urbanplanning #urbandesign #residentialdesign #residentialarchitecture #architecture #publicspace #landscaping #landscapearchitecture #plan #neighborhood

Step into the urban jungle, and witness a silent revolution—the rise of mass timber structures reshaping city skylines. Beyond the conventional steel and concrete, timber emerges as a sustainable yet sophisticated contender, challenging preconceptions in the heart of our cities. Towering skyscrapers adorned in wood showcase the marriage of innovation and environmental consciousness. These structures, both resilient and visually striking, stand as living proof that sustainability and sophistication need not be mutually exclusive in the ever-evolving tapestry of urban architecture. From sleek residential complexes to avant-garde commercial spaces, mass timber is not merely a construction material; it's a statement—a testament to the harmonious coexistence of nature's simplicity and urban elegance. As we witness this timber-infused urban renaissance, it becomes clear that the concrete jungle is evolving into a greener, more sustainable habitat that mirrors the ethos of modern urban living. 🌳🌆 #masstimber #masstimberconstruction #clt #glulam #crosslaminatedtimber #construction #constructionindustry #urbanhealth #sustainability

Round and round and round it goes.

The Most Sustainable Town in the UK Lewes is a quaint little town of 16,000 serving as both a bedroom community for the University of Sussex and a thriving art scene which occupies many of the industrial spaces that have hollowed out over the last century. Phoenix Iron Works has been a prime site for redevelopment given its prominence near the town center and scenic location along the River Ouse. So it is really great to see Human Nature and a massive group of architects, planners and consultants join the cause to turn it into a distinctive multi-family setting for 685 homes, more than 30% of which are intended to be low income. The development itself will be composed of timber buildings each designed by a different architect but adjoining around a central piazza. It is obviously designed as a walking city with quick access cross river to the shopping district. https://loom.ly/m5RvCNA #urbanplanning #housing #sustainability #architecture

In recent decades, there has been a trend in architecture of returning to traditional architecture, while adapting it to contemporary building materials, modern lifestyles, and contemporary design styles. The result is buildings with a local appearance, adapted to their environment in terms of construction style, and influenced by the local construction method in terms of the use of building materials and traditional building principles. But they have all the modern equipment and systems, such as electricity, mill, sewage, communication, that exist in the 21st century. Most of these buildings also have the intention of green thinking and optimal utilization of energy and recycling. They are a new interpretation of the concept of 'traditional construction' www.efratmeiri.co.il #efrat_meiri #israeli_archtecture #newarchitecture #new_house #green_architecture #betterliving #betterhomes
