Queenshill, Leeds

Client: Leeds Jewish Housing Association 
Brief: Masterplan to redevelop the existing Queenshill Estate and provide a mixed tenure community of 400 homes
Sustainability Initiatives: passive solar design, group heating system, sustainable transport initiatives


Designed around the existing community centre, the masterplan will knit the community into the surrounding neighbourhood with clear definition of private space and public realm, focusing around a central Village Green. Passive solar design underpins the layout to provide south-facing balconies, gardens and living spaces wherever possible. The buildings will be designed to high standards of energy efficiency and make use of sustainable building methods and materials.
