The contractor is already working with Camden on the UK’s largest Passivhaus residential project and will extend its role for the borough by updating two hostels.
Mount Pleasant Hostel in Holborn will be improved through a mix of new-build and refurbishment of the current facility to provide 50 en-suite bedrooms. Holmes Road Hostel in Kentish Town will be remodelled to provide a further 59 rooms.
Both hostels were identified in Camden’s community investment programme as being ‘not fit for purpose’.
The projects have been designed by Peter Barber Architects to keep them in the style of their surroundings.
