Masterplan and architecture
Designed by JDSA, Julien De Smedt Architects.
The masterplan study places clusters of low timber pavilions between the existing cork oaks: standard villas, standard bungalows, a restaurant and common house, a mixed-use pavilion and a studio. Plans, sections and elevations are in the data room.
Renders show the 2021 masterplan study. Unit counts and areas in this section reflect the current dossier and supersede the study.
