Green Park Village

Set in 24 hectares on the banks of a new lake, Green Park in Reading is a sustainable new village, with a range of apartments and houses, a new primary school, local centre, Extra Care homes and a railway station linking to the centre of Reading and the Elizabeth Line in just 6 minutes. Local restaurants, a health and fitness centre, and year-round events are all within easy reach at the adjacent Green Park Business Park, adding to the social mix.

With a client-commitment to providing a high quality, design-led and sustainable new community, fabrik embraced the challenge of creating a vibrant, green and blue environment. Within and around Green Park Village, Berkeley Homes committed to planting 585 trees and create natural habitats that encourage wildlife to flourish.  Key  highlights include:

• Bringing nature to the forefront with the creation of a stunning lakeside environment
• The creation of a civic heart within a new Market Square, with a unique paving design inspired by flowing water, crowned with jet fountains
• The weaving of lush, tree-lined avenues through the new village, with soil cells ensuring long-term tree health and strategic specimen trees guiding pedestrians through the space
• Weaving water management seamlessly into the landscape, especially at the entrance along Longwater Avenue. Retaining mature trees while integrating swales resulted in a striking green threshold that sets the tone for the entire project.

Green Park Village reflects our commitment to harmonising nature with urban development – bringing life, sustainability and beauty together.
