Crest Nicholson unveils new
showhome at Harrington Mews
Award-winning housebuilder, Crest Nicholson, launched its brand new four-bedroom
showhome, the Browning, at Harrington Mews in Horsham this September. The launch
event, offering exclusive tours of the property, was attended by a host of local dignitaries
as well as house-hunters, looking for their perfect home in Horsham.
Harrington Mews is an exclusive collection of
traditionally designed four and five-bedroom
family homes, neighbouring some of the finest
countryside West Sussex has to offer and just
outside the sought-after town of Horsham.
Christine Tiernan, sales and marketing director,
Crest Nicholson South, comments: “We’re
delighted to open our brand new Browning
showhome; there is huge demand in the
Horsham area for new family homes so we’re
expecting to see strong interest for these
spacious, family-friendly properties. We’re also
offering part exchange on the Browning to
encourage those looking for more space for
their growing family to trade up.”
Harrington Mews is well connected via both
road and rail, just over a mile and a half
from Horsham train station with its regular
commuter routes to London and Croydon
and connections to Gatwick Airport. The
development is also less than two minutes
away by car from the A24, joining the M25 at
Junction 9 connecting drivers to the South and
West coast.
Prices for the Browning at Harrington Mews,
Farthing Hill, Horsham, start from £649,950.
For further information on part exchange visit
the marketing suite, open daily 10am to 5pm,

House building for the future with 3D
design: Chichester based architects lead
the way in 3D technology
Well known for their innovative use of
photorealistic visualisation, local architectural
practice jbA is now pioneering the use of 3D
printing throughout its design process.
Using cutting edge 3D printing technology,
the firm can create detailed 3D printed models
made from PLA plastic. The models are
created on the latest AirWolf 3D printer that
enables the team to print scaled models of
buildings and internal rooms.
Nat Ellis, head of 3D visualisation, comments:
“Having a 3D model helps with any questions
about the scale, placement or features of the
design and makes the whole design process
much smoother for our clients. Gone are the
days of only using 2D CAD plans to explain
projects to clients and contractors. Now all of
our projects benefit from the creation of 3D
visualisations or 3D prints whether it be initial
feasibility all the way through to planning and
construction.”
jbA has also launched a new service offering
clients a 1:50 scale printed 3D model of their
proposed kitchen. The printed kitchen units
give clients the unique opportunity to design
95
their kitchen from scratch and get a feel for
space and size before placing an order.
One recent client commented: “No matter how
carefully architectural drawings are explained,
it is often hard to visualise how rooflines or
proportions will look, particularly to lay people
like us. The 3D models mean that we can look
at the house from every angle, and see exactly
where it will sit on the plot. It has brought the
whole project to life for us, and we are very
much looking forward to the next stage of its
construction!”
With the firm’s forward thinking use of 3D
technology, they have successfully set
themselves apart from other architects and
have become internationally recognised for
their proficiency in this area with Nat Ellis being
invited to speak at prestigious events including
the 2014 3D Visualisation seminar in Tokyo,
and attended the 3D SketchUp Basecamp
Conference in Vail.
