PANEL TEXT
How it could be
These drawings are of a house in Tolmers Square as it could be, renovated and to be shared by three households.
Each home now incorporates the basic amenities: hot water, proper kitchen, bathroom and toilet. Whilst providing as much floorspace as a new house, it has higher ceilings, thicker walls and above all is likely to cost significantly less.
Any house in the Village can be fully converted in a few months. By managing the work carefully there is no need for residents to leave the area at all. They will only move down the street while their old house is renovated.
The pictures below are of the same row of houses in Chalcot Road, Camden, before and after conversion by the Circle 33 Housing Association. The front of the building and the character of the street remain the same.
Total cost per dwelling: £4,200.
A conventional modern house providing the same amenities would cost at least twice as much.
