Frampton Road Better utilising council-owned land to create new net zero carbon homes for affordable rent & shared ownership. Net zero carbon Infill development H&S interface Client:London Borough of Hounslow Contract: JCT D&B Value:£3.6m Neilcott was appointed to design and construct 13 new homes across two blocks for affordable rent and shared ownership, whilst achieving Net Zero in operation. Following tender design, Hounslow wished to enhance the development’s specifications to meet Zero Carbon standards. Neilcott’s design team worked collaboratively through early technical design review and ongoing design development to achieve required performance. In accordance with the London Plan Energy Hierarchy the development is predicted to emit at least 100.26% less carbon dioxide (CO2) than standard Building Regulations requirements, compiling with the mandatory requirements of Policy 5.2: Minimising Carbon Dioxide Emissions of The London Plan 2016 and Policy EQ1 of the London Borough of Hounslow Local Plan (2015-2030) . This reduction is achieved through the adoption of enhanced insulation standards, improved lighting and heating efficiencies, installation of PV panels with an overall minimum output capacity of 37.50 kWp and Air source heat pumps. “Hounslow is leading the way on tackling the climate emergency and this pioneering project aims to deliver warm, energy-efficient homes, reduce carbon emissions, tackle fuel poverty, and support green jobs.” Councillor Katherine Dunne, Deputy Leader of Hounslow Council and Cabinet Member for Climate, Environment and Transport Strategy.

Fred Styles House Delivering new high-quality homes and sustainable communities in Greenwich.  Community Liaison Repeat Customer Traditional Construction Client:Meridian Home Start Contract: JCT D&B Value:£8.7m Fred Styles House was previously a sheltered housing block, that provided 42 bed sits. Sitting unused since 2013, Neilcott were appointed to demolish the existing building and develop 37 units consisting of 29 houses, 7 flats and 1 maisonette. The new development creates a neighbourhood of terraced houses running along Charlton Church Lane, and a series of mews streets which run perpendicular connecting into the urban fabric behind the site. Glazed screens lead into a generous open plan kitchen dining room. Stairs lead up to bedrooms and to a light and airy open plan living room with fully glazed screens leading out onto a secluded sun trap roof terrace. Low cost, robust but high quality brick detailing was integral to the project. Traditionally built brick arches front a number of the homes and help create a semi-private space where people can put out pots and plants, wellies and umbrellas. Other brick details include projecting brick surrounds to pop-up windows, arched window heads, soldier and header courses, articulated parapets and beautiful angled window reveals on prominent corners. “A a masterclass of working the humble brick – with such finesse and artistry! Sculptural, whimsical, bold and well-articulated architecture – these homes sit very well on site – with clever and sensitive referencing to the verticality of the nearby church tower.” Judge from Architects Choice Award GALLERY IMAGES FOR Fred Styles House skip render: ucaddon_next_prev_post
