Pocket sets demanding design standards for its schemes, which are conveniently located for public transport. The Company’s focus is on the smaller infill sites where it aims to deliver 100% affordable housing on plots that might otherwise end up with developments below a borough’s threshold for affordable housing.
The flats are economically planned around a central courtyard and are arranged to promote a community sprit within the development. The building is highly insulated and is extremely energy efficient to avoid creating a fuel poverty trap. The design incorporates solar thermal panels to preheat the domestic water supply and assist in achieving an Eco Homes rating of “Very Good”.
The development received a commendation in the Evening Standards Awards 2009, was a finalist in the London Borough of Camden Building Quality Awards 2009 and was the runner up in Building Magazine's Housing Project of the Year 2009.
