ParkLife 2 represents best practice in climate resilient design and construction. It’s 100% electric (no gas) and powered by 100% renewable energy, targeting an average NatHERS rating of 8.5 stars out of 10. With Clifton Park at your doorstep and Gilpin Park just across the street, the design embraces its unique setting with windows that invite natural surrounds in at every opportunity.

Quality, durability and long-term value are principles central to every HIP V. HYPE project. ParkLife 2 is no exception.

The building will be an exciting, dynamic form synonymous with Austin Maynard Architects’ playful work. The site’s narrowness – similar to Ferrars & York – is a real asset, enabling natural light and park views to all apartments.
