PRP Leads the Way in our Newest Inspirational Achievement with Innovative New Lodge Community

This Inspirational Achievement features PRP's innovative work in creating the New Lodge Community in New Earswick, York. Designed for the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, New Lodge is a HAPPI award winning ‘Lifetime Neighbourhood’ that combines high-quality housing and care for older people with a focus on fostering strong community connections.

The development includes a 44-bed care home, 105 extra care apartments, and the refurbishment of the Grade II-listed Folk Hall, which serves as a hub for intergenerational activities.

PRP’s approach ensures that New Lodge not only meets the needs of its older residents but also contributes to the local community by freeing up larger homes for younger generations. The development incorporates sustainable features like a photovoltaic array, BREEAM ‘Very Good’ certification, and water conservation strategies. It has also earned the University of Stirling Gold Award for Dementia Design, reflecting its commitment to creating a supportive environment for all.

Get inspired and read on to find out more about how New Lodge’s thoughtful design promotes community life, intergenerational interaction, and environmental sustainability, setting a new standard for later living developments and revitalising New Earswick for future generations.
