Stanway Close

The scheme consisted of one double bedroom, three two-bedroom and two three-bedroom apartments each with either balcony or garden outside space. Within the building there was an internal bike store designed to accommodate two bikes for each apartment and a refuse collection area with keyed access.
The external landscaping surrounding the project has been laid to grass with newly introduced trees and slabbed paths offering connecting routes across the development and into the surrounding estate. Adjacent to the building a new parking area has been created with the addition of two car charging pillars giving ample parking for the new tenants with infrastructure for their hybrid cars.
The foundations of the new building are shallow strip footings, with sleeper walls and suspended block and beam ground floor above. The main superstructure being formed using a structurally designed timber frame complete with pre-installed high-grade insulation panels and breather membranes to walls and preassembled floor cassettes to first floor, second floor and flat roof. The facades of the building were constructed utilising a variety of different materials and finishes, with red facing brickwork interspersed with Grey cement based cladding panels and dark Grey uPVC windows and doors with structural glazing to balconies at first and second floor levels.
