Stockbridge were given a brief to assist our client in creating a liveable space that can be called a home in the busy of heart Brixton. They had spent some time with their chosen architects, Avis Appleton of Wandsworth, to achieve planning for a three-bedroom uniquely shaped building fronting onto Gresham Road, behind a couple of their commercial premises.

With the difficulties of demolition and building so close to road, Stockbridge accepted the challenge and went onto create the three-storey part traditional brick and block with a steel structure and lightweight zinc finished third floor. Working in such a tight space brought about its fair share of construction challenges. From underpinning, to using winding party wall structures, space was limited and every centimetre counted. However, what we created was a beautiful home with all the conveniences of a modern property, as well as providing external sun traps in the ground and top floor.

This property, nestled amongst Brixton’s Victorian terraces and chic apartments, offers homelife as rich in character as the area itself. And with the Victoria Line at your doorstep, the city is just a heartbeat away

Mr Khan of SunStar Group said “We chose Adeel and his team as he was recommended by another developer friend of mine, and he did not disappoint. We are so pleased with Stockbridge that we are appointing them on our next project also.”
