Client: Knowsley Housing Trust
Value: £2 million
Completed: May 2011
Location: Halewood, Liverpool
An innovative solution to the problem of transforming failed housing stock into desirable and attractive dwellings whilst addressing future environmental needs by providing solutions which are energy efficient and sustainable. The project comprised the reclamation of three unattractive and unpopular blocks of existing maisonettes with little garden space, poor security, and high running costs.
- Removal of the central block to create secure car park and community green space;
- Extensive residents consultation;
- New insulation and renewables have dramatically reduced running costs;
Completely new appearance and improved security and communal spaces has led to new dwellings being oversubscribed.
