Social Housing, Cefn y Bedd
Hughes:O’Hanlon Architects was appointed by GK Construction for the delivery of this brownfield social residential development for North Wales Housing Association.
Totalling 30no dwellings including one-bed apartments, two and three-bedroom houses the scheme re-purposes the site of the former Spectrum Garden Centre in Cefn Y Bedd, Flintshire.
Responsible for the technical delivery of the project, we undertook an early compliance check against Welsh Design Quality Requirements and Lifetime Homes standards.
A timber-framed, fabric-first approach to sustainable design also includes air source heat pumps, solar photo-voltaic panels and rainwater harvesting.
Located adjacent to the River Cegidog, particular attention has been paid to the potential for flooding with floor levels set accordingly and with a flood basin provided within the site.
