FORT MANOR,
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT,
DUNDONALD

A progressive housing development creating a high quality residential environment with meaningful open space areas and a range of housetypes.    Fort Manor is a linear development of about 40 dwellings featuring a courtyard, enclosed by apartments, at the end of the central housing access road.   This central linear route through the development is punctuated by distinct character areas, with particular features marking the transitions between these areas, such as gatelodge dwellings forming a type of ‘gateway’ along the route.  The courtyard at the end of the route creates a unique and exclusive area of the development, similar to a private gated development.  The courtyard is formed by garden walls, pillars and the apartments themselves, creating an enclosed and secure environment similar to a farm courtyard surrounded, and formed, by stables.
