HAB was a consultant up to planning on this set of projects - designed by award-winning architects AHMM - which will revitalise a range of brownfield sites around Oxford.

Inside

Design features on these sites include setback outdoor rooms to replace balconies on the gentle sweep of the Barns Place roadside apartments, fronting on to the bustling high street ,to give back a sense of privacy and reduce any pesky traffic noise.

And in the rear flats the architects AHMM have put in angled oriel windows to increase privacy for you and neighbours alike.

Outside

Other buildings have sculpted rooftop allotments and meandering socal spaces with views across the city.

And at ground floor level there will be a secure children's play area where you can boot the kids out while you're enjoying your morning cuppa.

And round about

The site sits alongside the buzzing local high street and shopping centre in Oxford's Temple Cowley and is just a 15 minute stroll to the grounds of the mighty Oxford United.

Buses every ten minutes will whisk you into the city centre for the year-round cultural calendar.
