Somerset Ridge is a proposed Multi Unit residential development in Somerset West. These homes are aimed toward young professionals new to the housing market with the design appealing both to their financial and aesthetic sensibilities. The development also forms part of an exciting new urban infill project within walking distance of an array of shops, a gym and other public amenities. To increase affordability, development costs will be kept down by minimising unit footprint, thus reducing excavations and getting double the use out of primary elements such as walls and foors. In addition to this, the implementation of off-site fabrication and application of modular design as guide, material waste and construction time would be significantly reduced. Locally sourced recycled timber and stone from the site adds to the “wow factor” that has become ever more important for the Instagram generation.
