The Cotswold Water Park is an area that has a reputation as an environment of great scenic, natural and sporting value; a reputation recognised at a regional, national and even international level.

​

The Masterplan vision is to:
 

• Develop building designs that understand summer and winter sun paths to optimise passive solar gains

• Optimise solar orientation to each specific site

• Use local materials to reduce transportation

• Use low embodied energy materials wherever possible

• Use higher levels of insulation to retain heat

• Embody designs with a strong sense of place

• Enhance the landscape and biodiversity rather than merely mitigating harm

• Incorporate renewable energy generating strategies that are appropriate to the site
