Bradstone Goes Balinese At Center Parcs
Devastated by fire last April, Bradstone has played a role in rebuilding Center Parcs at Elveden Forest, Thetford.
Positioned on the shoreline of one of the largest and most important lakes for over-wintering wildfowl in the southwest, the development is located in Somerford Keynes, five miles south of Cirencester.
Each home is designed to maximise its relationship with the environment, often blurring the distinction between where the inside stops and the outside starts.
This is why Conservation Builders Limited, responsible for the development, decided to use Bradstone products.
The majority of the roofs have been built using Bradstone's Conservation Slates, and Bradstone's Ashton Buff Cast Stone can be seen on all units.
The Conservation Slates are an excellent choice for such a high-class development as they meet the stringent demands of Conservation Planning Areas.
Accepted in areas of outstanding natural beauty, the slates have a subtle weathered effect and a raw stone appearance, blending in perfectly with the extraordinary landscape surrounding the Holiday Park.
The Cast Stone range used on all units in the development is a comprehensive collection of beautifully crafted components for the detailing of stone and brick built buildings, both traditional and modern.
This is specifically fitting for the estate, fusing time-honoured culture with contemporary styling.
Mark Rond, Commercial Manager of Conservation Builders Limited, said, "The Somerford Keynes Holiday Park is surrounded by stunning countryside, and the homes are architecturally striking.
Bradstone's products really help to bring the feel of the local environment into the appearance of the houses." A total of 82 units have now been completed over Phases 1 and 2.
The development is now being carefully managed to ensure it maintains its ecological values forever.
