01 Background
This scheme at Broadstone, to deliver the technical design package for a previously consented scheme, was one of our first commissions with McCarthy & Stone. It provided an excellent opportunity for the practice to demonstrate our in-depth knowledge of the elderly living / care sector coupled with the efficiencies expectation of a plc housebuilder. KSA quickly demonstrated that we were up to the task and now operate as one of McCarthy & Stones preferred Architects in the Southern Region.
02 The story
Waterman House is a £4.2 million contemporary mixed-use scheme for McCarthy & Stone. Consisting of retail units and retirement apartments with associated communal facilities for the over 60s, located in a prominent and desirable location in Broadstone, Dorset.
KSA worked closely with the client and design team to revise an existing planning consent followed by a detailed construction package to successfully provide a new Costa café, renewed Post Office, 11 one bedroom and 25 two-bedroom apartments. Our technical team has been on hand throughout the project, offering both office based and on-site support to ensure the developer could meet their aspirations, successfully completing the scheme within budget and on time in August 2018.
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.
