Concept
As our cities become ever bigger and more impersonal, the idea of enjoying a premium lifestyle where community, convenience and safety are key features is very appealing to many of us.
Since the first homes were built around 20 years ago, the Kensington Park concept has gradually expanded to create a popular and attractive community featuring luxurious houses, townhouses and apartments designed to suit a variety of households. The inspiration behind the masterplan and overall design for Kensington Park came from New Urbanist communities in the USA, such as Seaside in Florida. Features of this architectural approach that the Kensington Park master planners wanted to replicate include the human scale of the development, interconnected streets, and diverse housing options that welcome a mix of residents. Walking and biking paths, outdoor architecture and other community features are also part of the aesthetic, to encourage residents to walk, spend time outdoors and feel part of a vibrant and connected community.
