KarlsonHus is proud to have delivered the houses for Project Corners Close, Ashford. The site was previously part of Lees Road School and was predominantly school playing fields. Willesborough Lees is adjacent to a timber windmill that is owned by Ashford Council but is operated by the Willesborough Windmill Trust.

 

The construction of the houses are made according to Swedish demands and tradition while the deign blends well in with their location next to the Windmill.

 

The houses were made off-site in Sweden by KarlsonHus, using a large, closed panel system incorporating doors and windows with all the plumbing and wiring integrated within the walls. The panels are highly insulated and ecologically sound.

 

The homes have hand made kitchen and pre-made bathroom and toilets pods, triple glazing and solid timber floors. The homed are designed to reduce allergenst, therefore they have no carpets but have a ventilation/heating system of 100% filtered air witch filters out pollens and other air carried elements. As a result of the heat recovery system the heating bills should be much lower than otherwise.
