Project

Following the acquisition of the brownfield site in 2018, William Ainge Court was developed in partnership with Barcud Housing association and incorporated a deep retrofit of the neighbouring complex of 23 apartments. This scheme is a continuation of our efforts to tackle the rising levels of fuel poverty in the area.

Construction of the new build element, which comprised of 15 No. Flats to the Passivhaus standard (currently pending certification), began in April 2021 and took 16 months to complete.

The retrofit of 23 No. Apartments followed in April 2022. The retrofit took a fabric first approach – having undertaken a full window replacement, re-roofing and EWI being installed.

In addition to their highly efficient construction, both use renewables and smart home technology to further reduce energy bills.
