Off-site MMC Projects.
We have longstanding experience of creating residences using manufactured Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). The above example includes
2 and 3-bed homes set over 2 and 2½ storeys with drives and gardens. MMC solutions are being commissioned nationally including in Kent and the South Downs.
We have been commissioned to produce a “Scheme of the Future” Design strategy.
The Brief sought a range of accommodation for Independent Living. Based on HAPPI Principles, designs are flexible and adaptable, ageing friendly with Smart Tech and Smart Building innovations. Energy conscious and Low Carbon solutions were embedded in the designs from the outset of the project’s development.
