70 Apartments, Milton Keynes

Faced with a severe homelessness crisis Milton Keynes planned to add temporary homes to keep families together while the City Council worked to find a more permanent home.
Utilising shipping containers ensures that the accommodation can be re-used elsewhere at the end of the scheme.

adapted to changing project requirements
The Outcome
Purpose built emergency accommodation creating additional safe homes for the people most in need of housing with:
installation commenced within weeks of contract award
rapid installation by a 4 person installation team
minimal disruption to the local community
limited waste created from the installation of the units
