Project: Jefferson Close

The John Grooms charity (now Livability Housing) caters for people with physical disabilities. Bolt & Heeks were engaged to design and build two semi-detached houses, one specifically for wheelchair use incorporating a lift, level access shower room and a height-adjustable kitchen.

The building is of traditional cavity brick construction on deep concrete pads and ground beams. The design required a Good Breeam rating but we managed to achieve a rating of Very Good.
