180 Bishopsfield, Harlow

A private residence in the award-winning Michael Neylan's development. This courtyard dwelling in Bishopsfield reflects the creative approach to housing encouraged by Frederick Gibberd's master plan for Harlow New Town. The staggered set of 256 dwellings at Bishopsfield is based on the winning design submitted to an open competition held in 1961. The brief by Harlow Development Corporation sought to give architects 'a freer hand to solve the old problems in new way'. The first prize went to Michael Neylan, a 24 year old graduate. Widely published in the architectural press, Bishopsfield's plans informed and continues to inform generations of architects, planners and students in Britain and overseas.
