WWA Studios assisted the London Borough of Hounslow; development partner Lampton 360 and EcoWorld London to create a new supported housing scheme. The project delivered 29 new homes, a mix of purpose-built supported housing, shared ownership and build-to-rent units. We were appointed from RIBA Stage 4 onwards and took the previous architect’s design through the technical design stages. The development is comprised of two blocks: one for general housing and one for supported housing. The second building adjacent to the new supported housing block, provides new residential homes in line with the London Housing Design Guide. The high-quality new homes are much needed in the area and deliver contemporary affordable and supported homes to the segment of the community most in need. Our technical team delivered the scheme including detailing the fire strategy which was complex owing to the layouts of the buildings. The detailing and design of the two-tone brick facades were undertaken with great care to ensure the concept was delivered and included bespoke detailing of the part-brick, part-metal balustrade. The landscaping around the building provides a natural setting for the buildings and as the vegetation matures it will provide various health and well being benefits to residents associated with the natural environment. The technical design skills WWA used on this project enabled an efficient build and realisation of the concept design.
