Desborough Road

To help address the existing housing and refugee crisis, the temporary accomodation scheme at Desborough Road provided 58 high-quality homes for those in urgent need, such as refugees or families who have become homeless.

Arranged around a central courtyard, the communal space allows tenants to meet, interact and develop a vital sense of community and identity.  

The homes were manufactured and fully fitted out in a factory by Premier Modular. The use of offsite construction brings speed, quality, and efficiency to the delivery.

Minimal onsite activity means less impact on neighbouring community and more control over the quality of the finished product. An adopted ‘fabric first’ approach to the construction minimises energy consumption and reduces maintenance needs during the lifetime of the homes.
