Energy Architecture worked with the Department for Families and Communities (DFC) on an 18 unit complex specifically designed as accommodation for elderly homeless people. As lead consultant, EA created a team that included Structural, Civil and Services engineers, Landscape Architects, a Certifier and an Energy Assessor. Building design processes were fast tracked, and included a mix of design and coordination challenges. The design solution, highly commended by the client, is successful in delivering a fresh aesthetic with a strong focus on sustainability. When assessed for energy efficiency all units received between 8.4 and 9.4 stars. The design and construction of the building was completed on time (in 12 months) and within budget.
