Newhall
Newhall is a new development neighbourhood set in the Essex countryside near Harlow.
A growing community, designed to a masterplan, where contemporary
architecture serves the living needs of people at home in the 21st century.
North Chase is the latest phase of Newhall to be designed and built, adding
to a development that has been winning awards and praise for its quality
of life and architecture. Four leading architects are involved in North Chase:
Richard Murphy Associates, ORMS, ECD and Roger Evans Associates.
The design approach behind Newhall
is focused on creating a vibrant
community. Everything starts with
the masterplan, designed by Roger
Evans Associates. It draws on
lessons learnt from much-admired
historic towns, creating a new place
that is, above all else, wonderful to
live in. North Chase is completely
integrated with these ideas.
A vital principle of the Newhall
design are the planned facilities at
the centre, which are soon to be built.
These will be within easy walking
distance of the whole neighbourhood.
Everything flows from this principle
to create a sense of community:
calm streets with lattice patterns,
not dominated by motor cars; the
use of local materials and colours;
the integration of large amounts
of natural green space; a built
environment that is individualistic
yet cohesive. North Chase, through
outstanding architecture, adds to
the design reputation that Newhall
has been building.
