High density residential scheme provides Kent with 370 new luxury homes to include 111 affordable units for Places for People and Amicus Group.

London-based architect Biscoe + Stanton has announced that 'Phoenix Parc', a GBP30 million contemporary residential development with creche facility in Northfleet, Kent for Bellwinch Homes and Explore Living is due for completion Spring 2008 The project is the highest density scheme of its kind in the region

Situated on the site of a former paper sack factory and lying between the new Ebbsfleet International Station and the Thames Gateway, Phoenix Parc comprises 68 two, three and four- bedroom houses and 302, one and two-bedroom apartments with 111 affordable units for Places for People and Amicus Group.

In addition, 21 of the affordable flats have been completed to Lifetime Homes specification.

Using a palate of traditional brick, timber boarding and slate roofs, Biscoe + Stanton has imaginatively arranged the houses in terraces including three gently curving crescents on the high ground to the north of the site.

Situated over undercroft parking to raise the living accommodation clear of the River Thames flood plain, and featuring glass and steel terraces or balconies, the flats are arranged around two, open-sided landscaped and timber decked courtyards on the site's lower ground.

The car park provides 302 spaces and bicycle stores for use by the development's occupiers.
