Dunedin Mews is a low energy development comprising 3 x Two Bedroom Apartments in South West London.
The modern exterior design is reflected in the advance construction method and technologies employed throughout the build to create leading edge urban homes.
At the prestigious London Evening Standard New Homes Awards the project won the award for ‘Best Small Development’.
The previously brownfield site has been transformed with a new development including a Penthouse and two Duplex Apartments each with their own private entrance and allocated parking space. These leading edge urban homes are surrounded by a landscaped amenity space with an attractive pedestrian entrance. In addition to the communal outside space the two Duplex Apartments both benefit from their own private outdoor space.
The development has been certified as achieving Level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes by Stroma, ‘Secured by Design’ from the Metropolitan Police and featured in ‘Professional Builder’ Magazine.
At the London Evening Standard New Homes Awards LEATHWAITE received the ‘Best Small Development’ Award for the Dunedin Mews development. The development was described by the judges as ‘punching above it’s weight’ and praised for it’s sustainability, ‘bold contemporary architecture’ and ‘innovative construction methods’.
As a classic urban ‘backfill’ site a creative and unique architectural solution was required to meet the challenges of sensitivity to the close site surroundings, whilst maximising the use of space and light and integrating the sustainable elements such as a green roof. The result is a truly unique building and a bold architectural statement, of a quality not normally associated with this scale of development.
The building structure is built using a ‘Modern Method of Construction’ known as Insulating Concrete Formwork (ICF).
The new development includes landscaped grounds and a Bauder Extensive Green ‘Living’ Roof which contributed to a ‘major enhancement’ in the ecological value of the site.
The Dunedin Mews development has been independently assessed after completion by Stroma and certified as achieving Level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes.
All of the site timber is from FSC and PEFC Schemes which ensures that all wood is sourced from legal and sustainably managed forests.
Working with industry leading construction waste recycler ProWaste enabled 96% of all waste during the build to be recycled.
The professionally designed external lighting system includes 100% dedicated low energy fittings
Landscaped grounds and a green roof has reduced the surface water run-off by more than 50%
Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery. Each apartment has a dedicated Nilan VP 18 active heat recovery unit.
