Additionally, the Gatekeepers Building within this project offers 33 apartments designated for shared ownership and social rent.

Challenges

The project presented several challenges, including the need for a high-quality roofing system that could meet the diverse needs of both residential and commercial units. The roof had to provide excellent thermal performance, durability, and sustainability features to support the long-term goals of the development.
