The commission concerns the provision of architectural services in relation to the delivery of 86 new build residential dwellings for a site in the Edge Hill area on the southern edge of Scarborough, North Yorkshire.
This particular site had previously been the third and final phase of a larger residential development which, for reasons related to the economic downturn, was yet to be completed and had been purchased by a developer who wished to appoint S+SA Architects Limited for the provision of architectural services through to the completion of the scheme (we were also the appointed architects for the original project).
Further enhancements to the consented scheme were made, in liaison with the Local Authority planning department, to meet the client’s aspirations for the site to deliver high quality residential accommodation. Value was added to the elevational treatments, materials and internal layouts and two additional units were added to the site layout.
The site topography is extremely challenging with significant level changes requiring a collaborative approach from the design team, led by S+SA Architects Limited, and the main contractor to develop an achievable and commercially viable design solution.
Disability Action Yorkshire have a long relationship with SSA-Architects which began with the design of our residential home for younger adults with physical disabilities when they impressed us with their commitment to ensuring that the design aided full accessibility and independence. They have remained firm supporters of and amongst other events run an annual bike ride raising much needed funds to support our work. They show a genuine interest in our work and in the ongoing needs and aspirations of disabled people. We consider SSA-Architects to be true and valued friends of the charity.
