Albion Cottage is a residential development of 4 houses in the heart of St. Peter Port with incredible sea views. CBL Consulting were appointed by Phoenix Construction to act as both civil & structural engineer for this exciting project.  

​

This is a highly challenging project on a site with access issues to replace a derelict, landlocked cottage damaged by fire in 2008 with modern quality housing, parking, gardens and ecologically friendly features.

​

The site slopes steeply with a substantial vertical face below down onto the top of Mill Street properties in the older section of St. Peter Port.

​

The new properties are two storey, recessed into the hillside with green roofs to minimise the impact onto the surrounding school, residential properties and nursing home.

​

A challenging build for logistics, an open sided RC box has allowed interior flexibility with a pumped foul water system and gives stunning views across the Little Russel & beyond.

​

Throughout the construction, maintaining access into the site and walls around the site has been the greatest challenge and required bored pile temporary works in areas with vibration monitoring.

​

CBL Consulting worked very closely with the Phoenix Construction Ltd. throughout the entirety of this project carrying out frequent site visits and inspections.
