Abode at Great Kneighton Phase 2 is included in Good Homes for All 2.0, a new publication from the Architects Journal and Architect's Action for Affordable Housing containing exceptional examples of higher-density housing.

Abode Phase 2 demonstrates how higher-density suburban housing can be achieved through design innovation rather than increasing height or reducing amenity space. By rethinking suburban housing typologies, prioritising spatial hierarchy and challenging traditional back-to-back distances the project delivers more homes than conventional layouts while maintaining a strong sense of place.

The use of innovative courtyard typologies, reduced car dominance on streets, homes with a range of amenity spaces and a high-quality landscaped public realm creates a distinctive place. Together, these elements challenge the conventional suburban model and demonstrate a replicable approach to delivering higher-density housing well.
