Eden House

A programme of modernisation by Erimus Housing delivered improvements to housing for older people in Billingham.

The outdated building at Eden House was demolished to make way for high quality, modern sheltered accommodation. Work began in 2008 and residents moved into their new homes early in 2009.

Designed by P+HS and procured through a partnering contract with Frank Haslam Milan, this sheltered housing development consists of 22 one and two-bedroom apartments for rent and 4 bungalows for sale, providing both independent and supported living for older people.

Individual bathrooms and kitchens are carefully designed, and the development includes a communal lounge for residents, a secure entrance and a buggy store. We specified materials that reflected the predominantly red brick of the surrounding buildings and included feature areas of timber cladding and render for a contemporary solution.
