White House Hostel will provide much needed contemporary hostel accommodation in the Ashford area to meet the current and future requirements of the Salvation Army. The development is designed to provide a homely environment for residents, integrated seamlessly into the local community, with excellent environmental and sustainability performance and a landscaped amenity space.

The scheme consists of 27 bedsit rooms with 6 shared kitchens, 4 moving en suites and ancillary spaces such as a laundry room, learning suite and sitting room, staff room, managers’ office, case workers’ office, reception and stores. 4 bicycle parking bays and 9 car parking spaces, including one disabled bay will also be provided.

The design for the scheme illustrates how the use, massing, density, scale and appearance are entirely appropriate for the site. White House Hostel is modern and timeless in its design, outward looking and will be a quality, sustainable building, integrating seamlessly with the surrounding context.
