Development: Conversion of derelict site into 19 affordable two-bedroom homes with communal landscaping
Client: Mackin Construction Ltd
Background:
In collaboration with Wycombe District Council, the redevelopment of the old Sidney House site is underway to offer 100% affordable housing. The focus is on creating accessible pathways and communal green spaces for residents.
Job Brief/Planning:
ZCD Architects, appointed by Catalyst housing association, designed the scheme to include private gardens for each home and a central green space for shared recreation.

The chosen bronze aggregate seamlessly blends with the terracotta and off-white hues of the buildings. With a permeable base, the paving ensures efficient water drainage, enhancing the longevity of the pathways.
Benefits of SureSet Resin Bound Paving:
• Aesthetic customisation to complement surroundings
• Permeability to reduce water build-up and flooding
• Low maintenance and durability with a 21-year guarantee
• UV stability for long-term performance
