albion street: award-winning refurbishment

We are thrilled to share the story of Albion Street refurbishment, the proud winner of the Best Small Social Housing Development at the LABC Awards. This remarkable project has transformed a once-derelict building into much-needed homes for six families in West Sussex. Witnessing this building come back to life has been fantastic, and we are proud to have played a part in its success.

The refurbishment involved a pair of dilapidated semi-detached houses that were in very poor condition. The existing building had substantial cracking in several load-bearing walls, and the roof had been leaking for years, causing significant damage to the timber roof and floor structure. The project required the removal of main load-bearing walls, remodelling of the internal layout, and the introduction of a roof conversion that joined the two semi-detached houses together. These structural challenges were met with innovative solutions and expert advice.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our refurbishment project partners for their collaboration and expertise: Cheesmur Building Contractors, MGAC, Adur & Worthing Councils, and Cityzen Limited. Their dedication and skill were instrumental in bringing this project to fruition.
