A flagship scheme for Dacorum Borough Council, Kylna Court has regenerated a disused, brownfield site into 79 one and two bedroom apartments for social rent with eight business units (5700 sq ft) on the ground floor. Located on a prominent gateway within the Maylands regeneration area, Kylna Court features an ambitious architectural design including a distinctive corten steel façade. The development is Dacorum Borough Council’s largest to date and was completed despite a number of site complexities, including access, utilities and neighbouring premises. Response to the development has been wholly positive, with residents already settled in their new homes.

Kylna Court is the 2019 Inside Housing Development Awards Best Affordable Housing Scheme (rural or suburban).
