Strawberry Fields, Stapleford

Strawberry Fields is a low rise IRC development in a rural setting for Rangeford Villages. A key principle during the design process was to develop a central green as a focal point for the community. Various character areas were proposed and important connections to the local village and an adjacent large countryside park were integrated into the masterplan.
