Orange Triangle

Almshouse Extension & Refurbishment

This project demanded a complete refurbishment of a series of Almshouses within Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

Project Overview

The proposals incorporated a series of oak framed zinc clad porches, which increased the living area and dramatically improved the amount of light in these areas. To the centre of the almshouses, an oak-framed garden room forms a communal space for the enjoyment of the residents. A complete refurbishment of the heating system, kitchens and decorations has provided up-to-date facilities, including level access and landscaped gardens.
