Brisbane Street

This is a JCT 98 Design and Build contract to provide 42 flats in partnership with Metropolitan Housing Trust.

The new accommodation is provided in a residential block providing a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bed flats for rent.

The previous use for the site was a Mr Kipling's distribution warehouse and the project included the demolition and site clearance to make way for the new scheme.

The main structure for the new building is via a concrete frame making up the first 4 storeys with a 5th storey in a steel frame solution due to the step back in the elevation as a result of the design development and planning process. The design incorporates feature balconies and roof terraces with elevational treatment in a mixture of through colour render, a feature metal and brickwork with composite timber windows.

The site location is central to Camberwell, however, the design still incorporates a private car park and communal spaces for the residents.

This contract has been successfully completed 3 weeks early in September 2009.
