В Пандберри возводится новый квартал в стиле «Искусство и ремесла» с домами, вдохновленными эдвардианской архитектурой

A new collection of Arts and Crafts-inspired homes is taking shape in Poundbury’s North West Quadrant. The development is part of the Duchy of Cornwall’s urban extension to Dorchester and is being delivered by long-term partner CG Fry & Son. These new properties blend traditional architecture with modern comfort and energy efficiency and are designed to reflect the character of established neighbourhoods through detailed brick and stonework, landscaping, and well-planned green spaces. Annabel Legg, senior sales manager at CG Fry & Son, said: "One of the things that makes these latest homes so special is their sense of character.

"We’re incredibly proud to be continuing our work at Poundbury and building homes that will be enjoyed for generations." The design draws from the Edwardian garden city and garden village movement, which inspired the final phase of Poundbury. Designer Ben Pentreath said: "We always had a plan that the final stage of Poundbury, the North West Quadrant, would make reference to the great Edwardian ‘garden city’ and garden village movement. "In designing this quarter of Poundbury, we have intentionally brought in more planting and deeper front gardens, and the design of the buildings draws from the great examples found in Hampstead Garden Suburb, Welwyn and Letchworth Garden Cities and their many beautiful buildings designed by Lutyens, Baillie Scott, Voysey and others." The homes use a simple palette of brick, slate, clay tile, and render, consistent with the Poundbury design code but distinct to this final phase. George Saumarez Smith of Adam Architecture said: "The Arts and Crafts was a pivotal moment for English architecture, developing a character of domestic buildings that felt welcoming and homely. "In the North West Quadrant, we have sought to reflect the Arts and Crafts style through the use of soft materials, more varied and asymmetrical groups of houses, prominent roofs and chimney stacks, and deeper front gardens." Jason Bowerman, senior development manager at the Duchy of Cornwall, said: "The success of Poundbury is the result of strong, long-term partnerships between the Duchy of Cornwall, architects, housebuilders and local stakeholders who share a commitment to creating a high-quality community." Poundbury offers a mix of independent shops, cafés, green spaces, and everyday amenities just one mile from Dorchester town centre. The latest release includes a selection of two, three, and four-bedroom apartments and houses.
