Chawton Hill Reach Practical Completion on Children’s Respite Centre
We’re delighted that this great project is nearing practical completion. Though not involved in the early stages of the project, Chawton Hill supported stakeholders and client to bring it to completion.
In the original works, the precise user requirements at Moor Lane weren’t captured. Chawton Hill worked with the end user and stakeholders, to deliver a solution that met the requirements of all involved. We spent time with stakeholders to redefine the project brief, ensuring that the finished project would meet their needs.
The result is a useful and vibrant, purpose-built overnight respite facility in Chessington. The building will provide short break care for children and young people who may have multiple disabilities. Often they will also have complex medical needs and challenging behaviour.
The centre provides a vital link in the support of families with additional care needs. In addition to respite care, it hosts summer holiday clubs. The centre provides a range of activities for children with special educational and care needs.
We were pleased to engage in some great collaboration between our clients, the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames, the end-user – Achieving for Children, and Cravencroft – the project contractors.
Particular detail we brought to the project included external turfing works, fencing and playground detail. We also added external ramps for wheelchairs and some minor alterations internally.
