Finding the DNA
Landscape & Heritage
To be successful, Calderwood must feel like it’s always been part of the landscape and naturally belongs there. The landscape and heritage is the DNA for the new community. Calderwood’s design and layout will be informed by the landscape, creating organic patterns that are in harmony with the setting.

The Calderwood site is blessed with the wonderful Almondell and Calderwood Country Park forming most of its perimeter. Preservation of this cherished asset will be paramount. We want the Park to impose itself on the development. Extending wildlife corridors into the new community and establishing a network of paths and cycle ways, will ensure nature is at the forefront of this development.
The Raw Holdings area is perhaps one of the most sensitive and important areas of the Calderwood development. It will act as the fulcrum between the new community at Calderwood and the established village of East Calder, forming links and ensuring integration between both communities. It will be host to shared community facilities, such as the new high school.
The Raw Holdings landscape offers an opportunity to create an inspiring extension to East Calder. The new community high school will set the tone for an enlightened development plan.
