Brabazon

Stirling Prize-winning architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios were commissioned by YTL Developments to initiate the first phase of transforming the historic Filton Airfield and build new homes at Brabazon. The Hangar District is a sustainable residential quarter leading the transformation of this 380-acre site. It includes 303 homes: family houses, private apartments, and affordable homes are all set with private gardens and community spaces along accessible streets.

The masterplan maximizes the site’s potential by accommodating people and transportation demands from the Arena while ensuring safety and convenience for residents and visitors. 15-minute neighborhoods shape the district’s identity with public spaces.

The Hangar District uses a blend of Freshfield Lane’s Selected Lights, First Quality Multi and Selected Dark clay bricks, all of which sit superbly amongst the sites greenery and modern aesthetic. The dark brown tones are modern and eye-catching when partnered with the lighter tones of the Selected Lights.

Ultimately, Brabazon will include over 6,000 homes for all generations, from rental apartments to first-time buyer flats, open-market houses, and retirement properties. Up to 2,000 student beds will be available, and 26.5% of homes will be affordable, totaling over 1,700 homes and apartments.
