Location: Hartlepool
Contract Value: £500,000
Contract Period: March 2010- June 2010
Design and delivery of nine bungalows together with associated external works, drainage and main services.
The site for this development was formerly a grass land with the exception of two tarmac areas and the access road. It was unused and situated within a perimeter of existing houses.
The bungalows are of a contemporary design, which allows a saw tooth roof to each unit, with extended eaves to all sides of the building. They have striking features and residents are thrilled.
Sustainability was top of the agenda, with bungalows being constructed using a mix of timber frame and cladding with slate grey concrete roof tiles.
The scheme has impressive environmental credentials that include a solar hot water system, high thermal efficiency and charging points for electric vehicles, for each of the bungalows.
Steve Bell of Hartlepool Housing comments, “Laureate Close is a success due to its unique design and sustainable credentials”
