Company Experience
Since 1994, Whitecode Design Associates has undertaken a vast range of projects, varying from residential through to large commercial projects.

Housing Association Projects
Whitecode started life working for Laing Central design office carrying out designs for Partnership Housing. Once the central design office disbanded we continued to work directly for Laing Partnership Housing on the majority of their large Housing Association schemes. This included the regeneration scheme at Hackney, which included some 5000 units.

Whitecode has been involved in a project for Community Housing Association (CHA), which was administered under the PPC 2000 contract. Whitecode has one further contract with CHA, which has been as a result of this project of one hundred units in Clerkenwell, and again is to be administered in PPC 2000.

A landmark development in Bermondsey using cutting edge energy efficient technology is one of Whitecode’s projects under PPC 2000. This scheme will was designed to the highest thermal efficiency targets, a combined heat and power plant (CHP) ground water bore hole and solar panels.
