THE TRIANGLE, SWINDON
THE TRIANGLE, SWINDON
DBK is providing Cost Consultant, Employer’s Agent and CDM Co-ordination services to Hab Oakus, a joint venture company established between Westlea Housing Association and Hab Housing, a residential development company established by Kevin McCloud. The Triangle is a residential development for 36 houses and 6 apartments on the site of a former caravan storage area / plant nursery just off Northern Road in Swindon.
The designs are informed by Hab Oakus’ fundamental principles – a strong sense of community, a belief in the importance of public space, respect for cyclists and pedestrians, and a commitment to sustainable lifestyles and outstanding contextual design.
The project subscribes to One Planet Living principles (including Zero Waste), aims to achieve a minimum of the Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 and Gold Building for Life standard.
Hab Oakus is working with Swindon Borough Council and local people to ensure that the Triangle project serves as a springboard to introduce initiatives such as car clubs and local food networks which will benefit the wider community and Swindon as a whole.
