Beechwood village, part of a wider masterplan extension for Basildon, is noteworthy as an exemplar for the design and delivery of housing within a context of a low-rise suburban development. While deceptively familiar in its scale and use of materials, it breaks the mould by delivering much higher densities than typical in surrounding developments, and attaining high levels of quality and sustainability through off-site modular construction.
Importantly, it also allows each owner to customise the design of their own home, creating an unusual level of variety. It has accomplished all this within a relatively constrained budget, reflecting the value of the local housing market, and has resulted in the creation of an environment with a real sense of place.
