Technical design solutions including offsite construction deliver a sustainable residential development that meets the Lifetime Homes, HCA, and London Housing Guide criteria.
Issue
The London Borough of Hackney required a new build residential development to provide private sale and shared ownership homes, in addition to office and retail space for the local community. There were two key environmental and logistical issues that would impact on efficiency of the build programme as well as the local infrastructure:
• The homes had to include specific sustainability features to meet the Lifetime Homes, HCA, and London Housing Guide criteria.
• The site’s challenging location near London Overground railway arches and between existing residential properties
