A year already

We can’t believe it’s a year since we completed Melbourn Springs in South Cambridgeshire for Octupus Healthcare. The 75 bed care home includes The Memory Lane dementia care community and a person-centred design in its use of colour and cues to help individuals navigate through the home. Residents live in smaller communities with a family feel so that they can feel safe and comfortable with a design to enable independence and dignity.

We are 65!

Who’d have known a small surveying practice would grow into a national Architectural, Building Consultant, EA and CDM practice. Did the term EA even exist in 1955? Happy Birthday Hunters and thank you to the team at Hunters especially during this very unusual year.

School’s Out!

A new teaching block at Ashmole Academy in Barnet, North London has been given the green light by planners. The proposed building will provide multi-functional internal and external performance spaces, additional teaching facilities for the creative drama and music departments and associated landscaping works.

Planning Win!

Last night we received planning consent for new affordable housing on Windsor Close in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. The application received a majority support from the planning committee and will pave the way for improved amenities for the area.

Framework Achievements

The hard work our team puts into frameworks and the comprehensive assessments by clients to make sure they have the right consultants for the job means we celebrate when successful. What makes it even more encouraging is we are working with such a delightful mix of clients on a vast range of work.

Accreditation where Accreditation’s Due!

We are thrilled that we have received official accreditation from the BSI, highlighting our BIM design and construction processes and procedures are verified in line with ISO 19650-2:2018 and PAS 1192-2:2013.

Helping the NHS Stay Safe

Work has started on the refurbishment of St Georges Hospital Emergency Department to strengthen the control and prevention of infection. The transformation includes a new reception and waiting area and improvements to bays and cubicles. This project is one of a number of national emergency refurbishments the team are delivering, including the A and E departments at Homerton and Stoke Mandeville hospitals, in light of Covid 19.

Planning Approval for £32m Leisure Centre

Hunters architectural team recently won planning for a powerful, uplifting new leisure centre in West Drayton, Hillingdon, West London and it is expected to go on site early 2021. The sports complex enables family fun and committed workouts with two pools, a gym and a roof top sports pitch. We will be releasing a fly-through soon, so watch this space!
