Hope Street is a pioneering project provides a positive residential environment for justice-involved women.
The vision of the client - the charity One Small Thing - is to create a ground-breaking trauma-informed approach to support justice-involved women and empower them to have better lives and achieve better outcomes for themselves, their children and society in general.
This vision to create a gold standard project is intrinsic in designing sustainable forward-thinking buildings.
Our work with the design team generated a 93% carbon saving. We are delighted that planning permission was granted for this aspirational scheme and that we were able to contribute to the project achieving a BREEAM Outstanding rating and multiple awards.
