Delivering quality through technical excellence

Appointed for RIBA Stages 4-6, BoonBrown has led the development and coordination of the technical design information required to deliver the project on site. Working closely with Stepnell and the wider consultant team, our role has focused on translating the design vision into a robust, buildable solution.

The development is arranged across two complementary buildings incorporating affordable apartments, a café and shared community hub. Together, the buildings create a new focal point for the neighbourhood, reconnecting an important community site with the wider Lockleaze area while supporting Bristol's ambition for well-designed, affordable and sustainable housing.
