THE TRIANGLE / SWINDON
HAB OAKUS
‘The Triangle’, a 42-unit sustainable community on a brownfield infill site in Swindon has just won planning permission. The HAB Oakus project seeks to create a contemporary interpretation of Swindon’s mid-Victorian railway cottages – flexible, affordable and efficient to build and manage.
The project is being delivered as part of a wider strategy to introduce One Planet Living principles developed by WWF and BioRegional to Swindon. Hab Oakus is a joint venture between Kevin McCloud’s development company, Hab, and the housing group GreenSquare.
The Triangle is being delivered with funding from the Homes and Communities Agency and is due to start on site by the end of the year with completion by December 2010.
