Formally a series of offices and storage sheds. Planning was obtained to develop this into a series of 5 unique houses. Some were single storey and some double. All were unique and where possible the original oak beams were left exposed.

All of the houses looked into the internal courtyard area and care was taken to maintain a level of privacy with horizontal slatted fencing and soft landscaping. Post completion, in 2011, the project received a St Albans Civic Society commendation award and Loop Construction were named as one of the contributing parties towards this achievement.
