Shepway Court City West Housing Trust took over the ownership and management of 14,600 homes including 12 specialist sheltered housing schemes in a stock transfer from the former ALMO. Shepway Court is the 6th of the 12 sheltered schemes refurbished by Emanuel Whittaker. The scheme comprises 40 individual flats, together with a guest flat, laundry and communal lounge and kitchen. City West’s objectives are to completely refurbish the buildings to give them modern facilities and a less ‘institutional’ feel, whilst using, wherever possible, sustainable environmentally friendly products. The works to each scheme included a programme of decent homes internal and external improvements as well as a major redesign and refurbishment of communal facilities. CASE STU
