The New Ground Cohousing development is located in High Barnet, North London, United Kingdom. This pioneering project is the UK's first senior cohousing community, designed by Pollard Thomas Edwards (PTE) and developed by Hanover Housing Association. The community consists of 25 customised homes, including eight socially rented and 17 owner-occupied flats, all centered around a shared 'co-house' and a large walled garden. The project's unique design incorporates modern comforts, sustainability, and a strong sense of community, with shared facilities like a common house, kitchen, dining areas, laundry, and a guest room. The residents, primarily older women, were heavily involved in the design process, ensuring the development met their needs and preferences. New Ground has received numerous awards, including the Building Award 2017 for Small Housing Project of the Year and the European Collaborative Housing Award 2017.
