About this home:

A LIVEDIN project with designs by Project Orange, The Green blends Norfolk’s heritage with modern living. Steep-pitched roofs and raised gables reflect traditional forms, while full-height glazing adds contemporary character. The Design Code strikes a careful balance—offering homeowners creative freedom in materials and configurations while maintaining a harmonious streetscape. Each buyer independently managed their self-build, and plots were structured to accommodate varied build timelines, ensuring a smooth, coordinated development process. At its heart, the collectively owned village green fosters community, sustainability, and a refined interpretation of Norfolk’s vernacular charm - a model for thoughtful, people-centred development.
