At the design workshop on 1st March incoming residents were invited to choose from a range of options to customise their new homes, including their kitchen, bathroom and flooring.

Continuing with the community-led approach, Leathermarket CBS identified residents for the new homes early on to give incoming residents the opportunity to be fully involved in the design process.  An integral aspect of the design for incoming residents are the internal finishes to their individual homes and communal spaces.

At the workshop Bell Phillips Architects presented the customisable options and residents’ had the opportunity to discuss the specifications with the architects, the emphasis being on well designed, high quality and easily maintained finishes.  Each resident was given a customisation pack to take away with them to consider their choices.
