Hampton Bridge.

Spaghetti Bridge is a specialist educational provider for children with social, emotional and wellbeing needs. They identified a site in Northampton with potential to be the 10th in their portfolio. Nazareth House was a former independent college which was originally used as convent. The building is Grade II listed.

How We Approached The Project

Berrys has a track record of delivering for Spaghetti Bridge on other projects, therefore we were well placed to accelerate the pre-acquisition stage which included an integrated team of project managers, architects, heritage consultants and surveyors working concurrently to achieve the ambitious turnaround from acquisition to operational ready.

How We Achieved The Project

Our practical approach and strategy led to efficiencies in the design process and a decoupling of high and low risk items in the Listed Building Consent application allowing works to progress whilst decisions were on-going. The Heritage Consultant team’s knowledge and understanding of local authority planning meant that they were able to provide guidance on the risk of the application and progress of works.

Berrys have not only been retained as lead architect on the project, we have also been appointed as Contract Administrator to successfully deliver the project on behalf of the client in time for their opening.
