Leicestershire architects masterplan new Whetstone homes development

IMA Architects (IMA), an architectural firm based on Lutterworth Road in Blaby, Leicester, has partnered with Jessup Partnerships on a new housing scheme that will deliver 49 new homes in Whetstone.

Work is now underway at the site, located on Cambridge Road. When completed, the development will consist of a range of onebedroom apartments and maisonettes as well as two-and-threebedroom houses. The project comes as a result of the continued high demand for smaller new homes in this area of Leicester.

Previously a brownfield site in the form of a car park, the scheme will transform the land into a residential hub that’s aesthetically pleasing, attracting new families, and working professionals to the area. Once complete, the new buildings will have feature brickwork panels on the front of each property, elevating the design to create an attractive place to live.

Working closely with Jessup Partnerships, IMA will provide architecture services, act as the principal designer and masterplan the entire site.
