The Laurels, Leicester
Project overview
The Laurels is a thoughtfully designed residential development in Leicester, created to deliver modern family living through contemporary architecture, practical layouts, and high-quality construction. The project brings together strong visual identity and everyday functionality, resulting in a distinctive new-build scheme that responds well to its setting.
Designed as a collection of elegant homes, the development combines clean architectural lines, durable materials, and carefully considered detailing. The overall approach was focused on creating attractive, comfortable homes that offer both visual impact and long-term usability.
Design and concept
The design concept for The Laurels centres on a contemporary residential language, defined by striking gable-fronted forms, expansive glazing, and a balanced mix of brick, render, and dark cladding elements. This combination gives the homes a bold and refined appearance while maintaining warmth and character.
Large feature windows bring natural light deep into the internal spaces, helping to create bright and welcoming living environments. The architectural composition was developed to provide a strong street presence, with each home carefully designed to feel individual while contributing to a cohesive overall development.
Layout and residential functionality
The internal planning of The Laurels was developed to support modern family lifestyles, with spacious layouts, strong connections between living areas, and a practical flow throughout each home. Generous openings and well-positioned glazing improve daylight, enhance the sense of space, and strengthen the relationship between indoor and outdoor areas.
The homes were designed with both aesthetics and day-to-day use in mind, ensuring that the development offers comfortable living spaces, efficient circulation, and a high standard of residential functionality. The result is a scheme that feels contemporary, practical, and well suited to modern living.
Delivery and construction
The Laurels reflects a design and build approach focused on quality, coordination, and attention to detail throughout the development process. From the external architectural features to the material palette and construction finish, every element was considered to achieve a consistent and well-executed result.
This project demonstrates our ability to deliver new-build residential developments that combine architectural character with buildability and performance. The completed design presents a strong example of contemporary housing, tailored to meet the expectations of modern homeowners in Leicester.
