NEW FOOT & CYCLE PATHS
Walking and cycling across the site will promote community cohesion and improve the quality of life for residents young and old; that’s why the riverfront has been designed to be a walkable promenade that includes both. This, paired with ample cycle storage areas in both the homes and the ground floor of the flats, means accessibility for all. These on-site routes have been designed to connect seamlessly to existing routes alongside the A259.
RIVER ACCESS & MOORINGS
Ideal for those with a desire to ride the waves, the new riverside moorings offer a chance to dock-up, come ashore, and enjoy the view from along the marsh. Given the existing mooring points that exist further upstream, this opportunity will provide an earlier stopping point and newfound connection to longstanding and established moorings on the South Coast.
HOMES BUILT FOR RIVERSIDE LIFE
Understanding the development, its goals, and the lifestyle that residents may want is considered in the very fabric of the homes. The lower ground floor of each home contains ample storage areas; perfect for larger, outdoor and active sports equipment, like wetsuits, canoes, oars, bikes, skateboards and more. And, with parking made adjacent and nearby to these home-storage spaces, it means stress-free and safe loading and unloading of equipment for adventures further afield.
PARKING CONSIDERED
Each home comes with two dedicated parking bays for the sole use of the household, in addition to guest parking bays spread throughout the development. These two spaces allow for greater flexibility and accessibility to get to areas far and wide; including Littlehampton, Arundel, Chichester, and Brighton. At the same time, given the pristine nature of the vistas from the River Arun, parking has been designed to sit under and behind homes, not visible from the areas of activity along the riverbank – keeping it safer, cleaner, and more accessible to all.
GYM / CLUBHOUSE
With sweeping panoramic views both down and upstream of the River Arun, this cornerstone building acts like a communal focal point for both the apartments and the houses. Its floor-to-ceiling, double height windows, and unique cladding will make this a standout and highly sought-after venture for a wide range of businesses; seeking to tap into the community-driven, riverside community this scheme creates.
Harmonious with Nature
Planted swales, lines of trees, native hedgerows, salt-marshes and mudflats; these are a few of the natural and introduced habitats integrated into the scheme. Residents will find themselves under a canopy of trees as they walk along the riverfront, making their way down to the restrained and humble bird-hide, or towards the mudflats with banks planted with local native species that will thrive in this maritime environment. Existing and introduced flora (and the fauna they’ll bring) will improve the attractiveness of the area, creating outdoor spaces that residents can feel proud of.
MULTIGENERATIONAL
With a local aging population and young people looking to settle down and start families of their own, Hampton Quay offers a perfect space to blend generations together. The amenities chosen and spread across the site allow everyone of all ages to go out, interact with their environment, their neighbours, and thus, create a community that will sought after far-and-wide.
The idea of embedding multigenerational living isn’t just limited to the built environment but even the use of planting and sustainable drainage solution too. Planted swales and localised flora will bring diverse creatures big and small back into the site; sparking curiosity in children and adults alike.
