The project began with the aim of preserving the site’s most valuable landscape features: its varied topography, existing ecosystems and natural sightlines. The development's proposed layout forms a clustered composition that organises communal spaces, opens up sightlines, and introduces clear gradations between public, semi-private, and private zones. A key principle of the design concept was to preserve the largest possible areas of unbroken greenery and to base the proposed planting on native species that are compatible with the local habitat. Consequently, the estate is not merely a complex of buildings; it is a space that is integral to the character of the site and its natural potential, defined by the landscape. Thank you for the honour, and congratulations to all the authors of the winning and shortlisted competition entries.
