Oakfield

Swindon

Oakfield, Swindon is a not-for-profit development, creating a gas-free neighbourhood that promotes sustainability and connectivity. As development partner, igloo is delivering Nationwide Building Society’s first UK housing scheme.

With high ambitions to make a lasting impact, we have worked with local Communities (knocking on over 600 doors and engaging in 300 conversations) and Swindon Borough Council to understand local needs, allowing the conversations to shape the planning, design and delivery of the project. As a result, we’ve delivered a well-connected, energy-focused neighbourhood with plenty of private and shared outdoor space for residents to enjoy.

Gas-free homes

All homes have photovoltaic solar panels to generate electricity, and gas boilers have been replaced with air-source heat pumps.

Promoting conversation

Communal space with ‘chatty benches’ and intentional low-rise doorstep shrubbery have been designed to encourage the Community to bond over the shared environment.

Building with nature

The development provides almost two acres of public park space, with footpaths encouraging residents to lead a healthy lifestyle, while wildflowers and hedges line the development.
