We’re delighted that one of our projects has been shortlisted for a Buckinghamshire Design Award. The Haddenham Airfield Pavilion is a sustainable, modern community space that will support many generations of people living in and around Haddenham.

The building itself comprises a function space, complete with a modern catering kitchen, a large foyer space as well as two team changing rooms.

The pavilion building was carefully designed to sit comfortably on the edge of the new playing fields within the recent CALA Homes development. It boast a combination of a green, living roof as well as zinc sections, with solar PV panels. The shape of the building provides a striking glazed entrance off of Tibbs Road and affords views across the playing fields and beyond.

The building fabric contains high levels of insulation in the floor, walls and roof. This, coupled with a combination of electric and natural gas hot water and heating, has resulted in achieving an “A” grade Energy Performance Certificate.

The project has been put forward to the “People’s Choice” award, which is voted for by the public. We think the Airfield Pavilion is a worthy contender and the link to cast you vote is here.

An ambitious project, undertaken on behalf of Winslow Town Council to improve the functionality of Winslow Public Hall and carry out improvements to the surrounding public open space bordering the hall, has recently been completed. The works were carried out by local contractor JET Construction (Milton Keynes) Ltd.

Winslow Public Hall sits within a triangle of land in the heart of Winslow. The aspiration of the Public Hall Trustees and Winslow Town Council was, from the outset of the project, to provide a new visible principal entrance to the existing building whilst at the same time maintaining and improving the current access routes and external areas.

A wrap around single storey extension provides a new kitchen, additional toilets and the new entrance. Internal alterations around the stage area have provided a dedicated internal route for users accessing the meeting room and the stage. Additional storage created within the main hall provides increased functionality for regular hall users. New energy-efficient LED lighting has been provided throughout the building and decorations and replacement flooring refresh a tired interior.

The external areas surrounding the hall have been paved with permeable block paving and new lighting, planting and cycle parking hoops create a more cohesive and welcoming public space whilst still maintaining segregated access for authorised vehicles and pedestrians.

Solar panels have been installed on the long south-facing roof slope of the existing building and these, together with a battery installation serving the Public Hall, provide a sustainable energy solution to help power the building for the future.

The building will comprise of one 1-person flat and two 2-person flats. The flats will form part of the Pearce Court site. The project has been funded by SODC, Homes England and Thame & District Housing Association.

As part of the decarbonisation of the building, solar PV panels will be installed to power the building, which will be topped up with mains electric thereby avoiding dependence on fossil fuels. Refurbishing and upcycling the building will not only meet current standards, but also provide three much needed new dwellings.

Works are being carried out by JET Construction (Milton Keynes) Ltd and are due to complete in August 2023
