About the service
We recognise that successful masterplans involve understanding the physical, economic and strategic constraints and opportunities of a site. Our Masterplanners are experts at this and are skilled in translating this into masterplans which create the greatest value for local communities and our clients.
We maintain a long-term view on solutions and focus on feasibility and deliverability. Our experience cover our industrial, residential, offices, retail & leisure and community & culture sectors as well as hybrid, mixed-use solutions. It also includes the development of Design Guides.
Our masterplanning experience includes the residential masterplanning of the Sale West Estate to deliver 263 new homes and transform the local area as well as the masterplanning of Carrington Gateway, a multi-unit industrial development.
At Muse Architects, our masterplanning services focus on creating cohesive, sustainable, and well-considered places that respond to their context and support long-term growth. We work at a strategic level to shape developments that balance land use, movement, landscape, and built form, ensuring a clear and deliverable vision from the outset.
Our approach combines site analysis, stakeholder engagement, and design-led thinking to develop robust masterplans for residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects. We provide scalable solutions that guide planning strategy, phasing, and future development, helping clients unlock site potential while creating places that are functional, characterful, and enduring.Â
