Summer Hill House, Jewellery Quarter - Construction with Community

Summer+Hill+House%2c+Jewellery+Quarter+-+Construction+with+Community

Transformation of a grand old site on Summer Hill Terrace, Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham, to provide 40 new residential and commercial spaces.

Summer Hill House is to be sympathetically converted & rear new builds built to deliver 40 one-, two- & three-bedroom apartments, townhouses and two commercial units.

The grand old site comprises two near-Victorian-era properties built as children’s homes in the early 20th century. Its historical aesthetic will be carefully maintained and maximised through its conversion & the introduction of dormers to its roof slope.

Unsympathetic modern (rear) extensions will be removed to provide enhanced circulation before the rear is remodelled with:

new 3 & 4-storey rear wings to each building;
a 2-storey extension to the rear eastern boundary;
a detached 4-storey to accommodate 4 three-bed townhouses;
a 2-storey side infill extension, designed as a coach house, will also be built to house the 2 Class E commercial units.

On completion, Summer Hill House will accommodate 13 one, 23 two & 4 three-bed apartments and townhouses (1 First Homes & 3 low-cost units at discounts), in addition to the commercial units.
