Kidbrooke
This project for the regeneration and redevelopment of a 1960s estate in south London will create a new suburb in Greenwich. The site, situated adjacent to a rail station with easy access to central London, straddles metropolitan open land.
Working with Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands the practice is providing urban design and masterplanning expertise. The aim is to redefine suburbia for the 21st century in terms of the new agendas of sustainability, energy resource efficiency, changes in lifestyle and demography. A major challenge.

Apley Castle - Telford
The site for some 130 dwellings is situated within the grounds of Apley Castle, sadly demolished in the 1960s. The orthogonality of the gardens and the avenues of trees planted in the 19th century are key components of the masterplan. Consultation with local residents of earlier developments has helped to shape the layout. A range of house types and tenures will be provided, and links to the gardens and the historic buildings and remnants will connect the development physically and reflect the historic patterns of development.

Tylers Cross - Epping
JRUD are masterplanners for an urban extension to Sumners, the western most part of Harlow New Town. This part of Sir Frederick Gibberd's masterplan was never completed. The site lies in a conservation area adjacent to rural settlement in Epping Forest. In designing this project we will be addressing issues of integration with the different morphologies of adjacent villages and the New Town. A complex landscape structure, the conservation constraints and the need to create a highly sustainable and energy efficient extension will result in new forms of development on this site.
