Beaulieu Masterplan
Chelmsford, Essex
Few developments can boast a former Henry VIII Palace as their centrepiece. At Beaulieu Park a strong landscape framework and carefully choreographed views and vistas enable this contemporary mixed-use quarter to be integrated into a sensitive heritage setting.
GSA has developed a concept-led approach to the site, creating a master plan with an unrivalled commitment to public realm. Built-form responds to localised heritage, ecology and infrastructure conditions to ensure that the townscape created is unique, characterful and entirely appropriate to context.
