Working Drawings for a Terrace of Six Open Market Houses for MK Building Contractors Ltd.
Robinson Kenning & Gallagher were commissioned by M.K. Building Contractors Ltd. to provide a working drawing package for a new terrace of 6no. open market houses in Walthamstow, London. RKG worked closely with Waltham Forest Council Planners to overcome issues with the original planning application (by others) to ensure planning conditions were approved and ensure the project could be built on time to the Client’s satisfaction.
The terrace was built on an brownfield plot of land in a residential area, previously occupied by twenty, single-storey garage units. The three-bed, two bathroom houses were built using London Stock Brick over three floors. Each of the houses had front and rear amenity, a third floor ‘Logia’ fronting Southcote Road and a large roof terrace. Parking was provided on-road.
OTHER RESIDENTIAL CASE STUDIES:
The proposed development was for the demolition of the existing public house and its replacement on a similar footprint with a 3 and 4 storey building comprising of 11 number 1, 2 and 3 bedroom flats (including 1 flat on the ground floor which can be easily adaptable to a fully accessible wheelchair unit), cycle and refuse storage including recycling.
Robinson Kenning & Gallagher were introduced to this project at an early planning stage to work with the contractor - Durkan, Housing Association and other consultants to construct the affordable housing element of the residential part of the redevelopment to create the new Arsenal football ground named The Emirates.
Robinson Kenning & Gallagher were initially commissioned by Spurgeon’s College to prepare design proposals for key worker accommodation blocks on a previous Petrol Station which fronted onto the busy A Road, South Norwood Hill.
