Social housing design, for the UK
Functional, comfortable and sustainable housing developments for the UK. Work with the team in Cambridge at Richard Herrmann Associates Ltd and trust us to deliver structural solutions that meet the needs of communities while ensuring long-term durability and value.
Projects that enhance the community
Social housing developments must balance a range of factors, from meeting housing demands to adhering to strict budgetary constraints. Our designs focus on efficiency, ensuring that the structural elements support a cost-effective build while maintaining the high-quality standards expected in social housing. Richard Herrmann Associates Ltd have been in the industry since 1987 because we ensure that our structures are built to last, providing safe and secure homes for residents for many years to come.
Throughout the planning stages, we’ll consider environmentally friendly materials and the latest energy-efficient systems to reduce the long-term impact of these developments, whilst future proofing the building. Integrating modern solutions for insulation, heating, and ventilation, means social housing remains cost-effective to run and meets the evolving needs of residents across Cambridge and beyond.
Creating versatile buildings that can adapt
Social housing developments need to cater to a diverse range of occupants, including families, individuals, and those with specific needs. We design with flexibility in mind, allowing the layout and use of space to be easily adjusted to accommodate different living arrangements or future requirements. Achieving this relies on our collaboration with housing associations, local authorities, and architects, ensuring that every aspect of the development, from structural design to service integration, aligns with the broader goals of providing safe, accessible, and welcoming homes for those most in need.
Enhancing your existing properties
We often carry out monitoring of buildings to determine the extent and speed of foundation movement, as well as more general investigations into dilapidation of structure. Housing association surveyors recognise that we can bring our experience and expertise to assist them in addressing the building concerns with the least disruption to tenants, and our insight can allow stakeholders to act quickly. We appreciate that we’re not just dealing with housing stock; this is somebody’s home, and we are experienced in acting accordingly.
