Havelock House
A significant social housing development on Ormeau Road, Belfast. Designed for Lotus Group and Clanmil Housing, the project will deliver 104 residential units, addressing critical housing needs in the area.
The development provides a diverse housing mix, including family maisonettes, apartments and wheelchair-accessible units. Carefully designed to respect its surrounding context, the scheme features a graduated massing that begins at 3 storeys near existing residential neighbourhoods and sensitively steps up to 4 and 5 storeys towards Ormeau Road.
The mass is organised around two central courtyards in an ‘E’ shaped block layout, with a series of ancillary buildings and resident car parking located within the site compound.
This housing-led regeneration directly supports the Belfast Agenda, creating homes that will help keep the city centre and neighbourhoods vibrant and sustainable. The scheme’s design prioritises external amenity spaces, strategically using site orientation and natural light to create high-quality living environments.
Comprising both General Needs Social Housing and Category 1 over-55’s accommodation, Havelock House represents a thoughtful approach to inclusive, community-focused urban development.
