Government of Gibraltar initiative to provide new high-density housing in Gibraltar
This is the first and largest project in an ambitious initiative to design and deliver high-density housing across a number of sites in Gibraltar.
HTA’s first task in working with the Government of Gibraltar was to establish and maximise the Brief. The design was developed in close discussion with members of the Government’s Technical Department to ensure that all elements of the scheme stand up to the harsh marine climate.
The quality of design brought to the scheme by HTA’s involvement ensures that visitors who arrive in Gibraltar by air, sea or via Spain to the north will recognise this as a key project in Gibraltar’s architectural development.
With this project we are demonstrating how our housing design and construction skills can be adapted to create popular homes within different cultural contexts and in diverse climatic conditions.
Working with one of Spain’s largest contractors under JCT98 contract, HTA has been appointed Project Manager and Contract Administrator alongside British Engineers and Quantity Surveyors. The use of a traditional style contract ensures the quality of design.
