Cooper Homewood were appointed to provide professional services during RIBA Stages 1 and 2, supporting the early design and feasibility phases of the development. Our work involved close collaboration with the wider project team to define the brief, explore design options, and establish a strong foundation for subsequent stages of development.

In addition to our design input, Cooper Homewood were also responsible for delivering key sustainability services. This included SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) modelling to evaluate and improve the energy performance of the dwellings, overheating assessments to ensure thermal comfort and compliance with regulatory standards, and detailed thermal bridge modelling to reduce heat loss and support fabric efficiency.

Our involvement helped to shape a development that not only met planning and performance objectives but also aligned with best practice in sustainable residential design.
