Eco Architecture: Lingfield Point – A carbon neutral project for Durham

December 22nd, 2008 by mark

FAT were commissioned in 2008 by Marchday Group Plc to masterplan the redevelopment of Lingfield Point, an exisiting 42 hectare site in Darlington, County Durham.

The 100% net carbon neutral project aims to regenerate an existing industrial estate into an eco-friendly residential mixed use scheme.

Community centres, shops, restaurants and healthcare facilities surrounded by environmentally friendly housing and places of work are enhanced by an eco-corridor to encourage wildlife alongside fitness trails and sports/cultural facilities.

The masterplan creates a series of varied experiences throughout the site, all of which retain traces of the industrial character of the location.
