Stanhope is proud to support the launch of the UK’s first Commercial Timber Guidebook, co-authored by Elliott Wood, Waugh Thistleton Architects, OFR Consultants and Lignum Risk Partners and backed by Built by Nature. The Guidebook is a major collaboration between property developers, insurers, and technical experts and aims to promote the use of structural timber in office construction. We are among nine UK property developers who collaborated on the initiative, alongside Berkeley Estate Asset Management, British Land, Derwent London, Hines, Landsec, Lendlease, Muse, and Related Argent. The Guidebook aims to drive the adoption of timber by demonstrating its technical viability and insurability and create a consensus of good practice on how to incorporate structural timber into new office buildings. The Guidebook can be downloaded from Timber Development UK’s website here: https://lnkd.in/evicRkx6

There was much coverage at UKREiiF and in industry news about the UK’s continuing housing crisis, with the Architects’ Journal announcing its support for the Architects’ Action for Affordable Housing. From a commercial perspective more developers are looking to maximise the potential of their assets, particularly within constrained city sites, by adding additional storeys on top or over existing buildings. Vertical extensions, or airspace developments, open up opportunities for more affordable housing purchases and residential rental opportunities, as well as commercial development for major landlords and developers alike. While a site may achieve planning permission for additional storeys, the technical viability must be considered to assess cost and buildability. SD has a growing reputation for delivering complex vertical extension developments and so we have put together some key items for consideration. You can find more information here: https://lnkd.in/etsEZKwQ We very much enjoy delivering these sorts of complex projects and so please do get in touch about your next vertical extension development. #verticalextension #verticalextensions #property #construction #airspacedevelopments #additionalstoreys #structuralengineering #civilengineering #structuralengineers #civilengineers #constrainedsites #architecture #engineering #builtenvironment #housingcrisis #housing #housingdevelopments #affordablehousing

One critical advantage of New Urbanism is that it blends residential, commercial, and retail spaces within the same multi-family development. This approach fosters a strong sense of community, making it easier for residents to connect and engage with their local environment. Morris Square in Charleston is a prime example of how small-scale developers can successfully implement New Urbanism. Allison Ramsey Architects played a crucial role in this vibrant, mixed-use community, designing everything from single-family homes to large mixed-use buildings alongside townhouses, a duplex, and a quadruplex. For small-scale developers, the growing focus on multi-family housing within New Urbanism represents more than a passing trend. It marks a significant transformation in the way cities are planned and lived in.

The Highland Council recently confirmed the Section 75 Agreement for new homes in Conon Bridge, allowing Tulloch Homes to proceed with their approved plans to deliver 160 private and affordable homes in the area. As the project architects, Bracewell Stirling Consulting has been integral to the design and planning process, working as part of a team with engineers, transport consultants, ecologists, and landscape architects. We held consultation events with the public as part of the planning process and consulted with the Highland Council pre-planning. This early-stage engagement helped streamline the application through the planning process. We were the design architects for the site layout, which has been planned to be sympathetic to the existing landform, providing attractive landscaped open spaces and active travel connections with adjacent routes, amenities, and the wider Braes of Conon residential areas. The buildings and layout are designed with consideration for reducing energy use. We are experts in advising clients on cost-effective sustainable design solutions, and all houses in this development will be fitted with air source heat pumps. Construction of the Conon Braes South development, an extension of the existing Conon Bridge North, is expected to start next summer, with a focus on working with local trades and suppliers. #CononBridge #Architects #DesignAndPlanning #HousingDevelopment #PrivateHomes #AffordableHomes

Around the country, hallway space is shrinking, according to the latest trend report from John Burns Research and Consulting. "In Texas, we are designing our homes with fewer hallways as much as feasible. There are many benefits of this trend for new home construction, including more square footage for homeowners to enjoy, a better flow around the home, more natural light, reduced energy costs and savings on construction costs," shared our VP of Value Engineering & Architectural Services, Odeh Kheir, in an interview with Forbes.
