Client: London Borough of Islington

Location: Williamson Street Estate

Nature of work: Construction of new apartments to existing undercroft garage areas including external works

Value: £4.1 million

Mulalley redeveloped an undercroft garage to build 18 new apartments. Two of the social housing apartments are fully wheelchair accessible with specially equipped kitchens, wet rooms, living areas and power assisted door entry systems.

The existing estate entrances were demolished and rebuilt; new security doors and new lifts were installed. Improvements were made to the existing open first floor walkway as well as creating light wells for the new apartments. Refuse areas, caretakers and storage facilities were also added.

The adjoining community centre was refurbished and extended to include a large meeting area, kitchen, office and meeting rooms with a patio and a soft landscaped garden area to the rear.
