Cole Gardens, in Hounslow, was previously five, three blocks of flats. However, the clever erection of an upward extension to create an extra fourth floor ensures a sizable transformation.
The additional floor with hipped roof will provide 12 two-bedroom units. A fantastic solution in helping to ease the housing shortage, especially in cities.
Main Contractor, United Living managed the construction and application of the Wetherby system, comprising 60mm – 160mm Stone Wool Insulation and Real Clay Brick Slips.

Four Seasons Premium Silicone Render features to create band details to match the floors below.
