The Marsh : Architectural language

‘The Marsh’ architectural language makes strong cross reference to that of ‘The Pent’ areas and other Design Narratives for the Ebbsfleet Garden City.

The horizontal expression of each dwelling and the dark plinth should be developed as a dominant architectural expression. Low rise elements are to be included with flat green roofs to maintain green coverage. Residential typologies have to incorporate frontages that address the landscape, side gardens and shared courtyards. Long views over the marsh should be captured in corner bay windows. The residential typologies incorporate car parking, and shared courtyards.
