The works at Union Road are drawing to a close. Having been uninhabited for almost two decades, the building no longer represented anything that could be described as a home. It was a dilapidated wreck of a shell that pushed the definition of ‘fixer-upper’ to the extreme. But over the past few months it has been painstakingly restored to its former glory. The townhouse has been renovated from the inside and out, with a Victorian-appropriate frontage, contemporary rear additions and modern interiors. The renovation has improved the property’s impact on the Conservation Area’s streetscape and, having been brought back to habitable use, offers a family-friendly living environment.

Planning permission has been granted for a JL Studio designed, super-sustainable house in the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The home will be designed and built to very high standards of airtightness, thermal performance, internal air quality and passive solar heating. These are core criteria for a Passivhaus building, where both energy efficiency and comfort are of the utmost priority.

JL Studio has obtained planning permission for the change of use and internal fit out of a Vauxhall railway arch which is to be used for martial arts by the Urban Warriors Academy. The objective will be to create a welcoming and inspiring clubhouse that is honest to the urban and gritty architecture within which it is situated.
