This is our first project for Metropolitan Housing Trust and consists of 9 terraced houses and 3 flats. Metropolitan visited our project at Boatemah Walk and decided to transfer the whole team of architects, engineers, client representatives and ourselves to Wiltshire Road.

The houses will be timber frame using FSC timber, with green roofs and solar thermal heating and will be built to high insulation standards using recycled newspaper to achieve EcoHomes 'Excellent'.

The aim was a scheme with 100% FSC certified timber under our FSC Chain of Custody, but our partnered window supplier was unable to obtain its own Chain of Custody accreditation in time. It should however still achieve over 90% and qualify as an FSC mixed sourced product.

This will be only the second new build UK housing scheme (Boatemah Walk was the first) to qualify as an FSC product.
