As a space that is integrated and situated in the heart of Elstree village, we are hoping that the retirement community itself will become a useful and attractive amenity for the residents of the wider neighbourhood.

The scheme will be open and welcoming, drawing people in to explore the quiet trails, public spaces as well as the amenities.

Enhancing the village experience for the existing Elstree neighbourhood is a key consideration in the design process. For example, the scheme could provide local people with a restaurant and community space, which will facilitate local clubs and host small-scale events.
