01 Background
KSA were commissioned as Lead Consultant for this £12 million development of 60 new dwellings on the former Somerstown Health Centre/Arthur Pope House site that had been relocated to a new purpose-built facility. We were engaged to produce all working drawings with other duties including working with the design team, clearing outstanding planning items and helping to gain Building Control Consent.
02 The story
This site consisted of two different build methods, with the houses being constructed of timber frame, and the three separate flatted blocks being formed using lightweight steel frame. The main exterior design pallet across the site consisted of buff brick, render and tata urban colorcoat cladding.
It was identified early in the process that one house was to be a fully functioning DPU (Disabled Person Unit). Working with the client and local Occupational Therapists, KSA helped to develop the unit to accommodate the end user’s needs.
At KSA our people is our culture.
People are at the centre of everything we do, we foster and nurture a creative and innovative environment in which all excel.
