ward-winning architects Proctor and Matthews have designed the development to complement the aesthetic of the local area. Its layout draws on the idea of ancient settlements, with a farmstead at the centre and a variety of gardens and walkways that connect the apartment buildings to the restaurant, lounge, spa, gym, and all the areas that bring people together.

THE GARDEN VILLAGE

T

he nine apartment buildings are structured around a series of interlocking gardens, each with its own character and function. The result is a place where you can be actively involved in gardening or simply take pleasure in walking through the flower-lined paths under the branches of mature trees. The buildings are interspersed with ‘common greens’, which provide splashes of meadow-like colour. The ‘wold courts’ are found beyond these. The gardens are charming wildernesses and the main way of getting about.

Introducing PegasusLife

PegasusLife is a business on a mission to fundamentally rethink and reinvent the places and ways in which we live as we get older. The company is currently in the process of developing 30 sites across the UK.

Howard Phillips, Chief Executive Officer Our central idea is that everyone shares an aspiration to live independently within an intelligently designed, socially inclusive environment, supported by an intuitive service offer and an efficient and ethical approach to property management.

A unique approach to property management

John Nordon, Design Director In the design team, our work is about creating imaginative places that foster natural interactions between neighbours. Our approach doesn’t follow a ‘cookie cutter’ style. No two PegasusLife developments are the same. Each one carefully conceptualises the history, architectural character, culture and personality of its location and, most critically, embodies the spirit of the people we believe will want to live in it. We make use of the highest-quality materials and craftsmanship – not just to create beautiful places for people to live, but to protect the future of our customers’ homes and investments. We take the architectural legacy of cities and towns seriously, and we prioritise developing sustainable buildings that are sympathetic to their surroundings.

Lorena Brown, Sales & Marketing Director Our approach to selling is based very much on our core value of transparency. Many of our customers are moving from more traditional freehold family homes and won’t have lived in modern apartments set within communal developments before. There are significant advantages to this way of living; however, it is different. We see it as our responsibility to make sure not only that we’ve communicated what it’s about but also that our audience has understood it.

Working in collaboration with the country’s leading designers, academics, creative thinkers and producers, we ensure that the highest level of detail and quality is brought to all aspects of our developments.

One of the major hallmarks of our approach is the way we’ve considered property management – which we run on behalf of our residents on a not-for-profit basis. Furthermore, when customers purchase a property with PegasusLife, they become shareholders of the developments management company, guaranteeing them voting rights and a say in how their development is managed.

Mark Shirburne Davies, Chief Operations Officer

Clare Bacchus, Customer Experience Director

We strive to meet the needs and expectations of the people who live in our developments now and those who may choose to in the future. Working with partners who share our goal, we look to create places to which people can aspire. From purchasing land through to the planning and construction phase and beyond, we ensure each development is unique, valuable and of the utmost quality.

Our starting point in everything we do is the people who choose to live in our developments. What will they want to do here? What type and style of service is appropriate? What kind of living environment do we need to create to generate the right atmosphere and give people the experience they’re looking for? This philosophy goes right down to the level of detail of considering which plants to include in the gardens and which furnishings to use in the development. It extends through to the type of attitude we look for in the team we recruit to deliver a personal, informal and efficient approach to service.

Our role continues when our developments are up and running. We work in tandem with the next set of delivery partners − our hosts and concierges − to make sure the PegasusLife difference is there for everyone to see, every day.

When we talk about maintenance, we mean much more than a lick of paint or changing a light bulb (although we will, of course, take care of that too). Steepleton has varied and extensive gardens as well as several buildings and water features. Its village aesthetic comes with a set of individual requirements for maintenance, which we’ll make sure are met. This ensures that your investment is secure and you can enjoy living in a well-maintained, visually inspiring environment that improves rather than deteriorates with age. From cleaning the outdoor swimming pond to maintaining the raised garden beds, the approach is tailor-made and detail-oriented. The management company for Steepleton is run on a strict not-for-profit basis. This ensures that work is carried out solely for the purposes of caring for the building and maintaining the quality of the offer and experience of living here for the residents. On purchasing a property at Steepleton, homeowners, together with PegasusLife, automatically become shareholders of the management company, giving you voting rights and a say in how the company is managed and run. When it comes to the operation of the management company, we believe passionately that true transparency is fundamental to maintaining residents’ peace of mind and the management company’s integrity. For this reason we have invested in creating our own digital tool for property management – an online membersonly system, designed to provide you with a detailed understanding of how your money is spent on servicing Steepleton, and to enable you to keep track of expenditure on and investment in the building over time.
