Gordon Gourt: Capital Works – Main Contractor

The project has been developed for jLiving (Jewish Community Housing Association) and is located on a 0.2825 hectare site in Edgware on the A5 ‘Stonegrove’ between Stonegrove Gardens and Calthorpe Gardens. The site is currently occupied by Gordon Court, a two storey residential building in an ‘L’ shaped form.

jLiving provides the Jewish community with affordable, secure, welcoming accommodation, including associated services for those aspiring to live independently.

Gordon Court currently provides:

• 33 flats in total arranged over two floors, including 26 studio flats for single people, 6 one-bedroom flats and 1 two-bedroomed flat for couples.
• 7 residents car parking spaces.
• Parking is available to the front of the property – restrictions apply Mon-Fri 7-10am, 3-6pm.
• Parking is also available in Calthorpe Gardens – resident permit parking Mon-Sat 10-11am and 3-4pm.

The new development proposes an additional 11 new affordable rented flats, and the reconfiguration of the existing accommodation to create one-bedroom apartments from existing bedsits and ancillary accommodation. The units will be a mix of both 1B1P and 1B2P flats.

The new development proposes to retain the existing building on the site, adding two new storeys to the front and side wing, and retaining a two-storey element in the vicinity of mature trees on the western side of the site. In addition to the airspace development a number of small extensions have been added to allow improved accommodation in existing apartments and achieve dual aspect requirements.

The main façade is being reconfigured to create a modern frontage with balconies provided to break up the façade and add rhythm.
