Project Overview: Transformation of Unused Garages into Modern Apartments

Location: Headington, Oxford

Project Description:

We undertook a transformative project in Headington, Oxford, involving the demolition of six unused garages to create three modern, high-quality build apartments. This development aims to enhance the local housing market while prioritizing energy efficiency and sustainability.

Key Features:

1. High-Quality Construction:
   • Design and Materials: The apartments were constructed using premium materials and contemporary design principles, ensuring both durability and aesthetic appeal.
   • Interior and Exterior Finishes: Attention to detail is evident in the high-end finishes, from the sleek kitchens and bathrooms to the landscaped communal areas.
2. Energy Efficiency:
   • Triple Glazing: All windows are fitted with triple glazing, significantly reducing heat loss and minimizing noise pollution, contributing to a more comfortable living environment.
   • Air Source Heat Pumps: These state-of-the-art systems provide efficient heating and cooling, harnessing renewable energy from the air outside to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
   • Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Panels: Installed on the rooftops, these panels generate clean, renewable energy, reducing the carbon footprint of the apartments and lowering electricity costs for residents.
3. Energy Performance Certificates (EPC):
   • Ratings: The apartments have achieved impressive A and B ratings on their EPCs, reflecting their superior energy efficiency and environmentally friendly design. These ratings not only ensure lower utility bills for residents but also contribute to a more sustainable future.

Management and Letting:

The newly built apartments are now let out by our sister company, which specializes in property management and letting services. This partnership ensures that the apartments are well-maintained and that residents receive high-quality service and support. Our sister company’s expertise in the local market guarantees competitive rental rates and a seamless letting process for tenants.

Community Impact:

This project has not only revitalized a previously underutilized space but also added valuable housing stock to the Headington area. By replacing unused garages with energy-efficient homes, we are contributing to the local community’s growth and sustainability. The development aligns with Oxford’s broader goals of reducing carbon emissions and promoting green living.

Conclusion:

The demolition of the unused garages and the subsequent construction of these three new build apartments represent a significant investment in the future of Headington. Through innovative design, advanced technology, and a commitment to sustainability, we have created homes that meet the highest standards of quality and efficiency, ensuring a better living experience for all residents.
