We have won a competition for a 9 unit experimental social housing scheme in Mions, France. This small but ambitious project will have a high level of environmental credentials: not only will the structure be from cross laminated timber but the insulation will be a wood fibre, the cladding made of timber board and a communal heating system will be fired by wood pellets.
The highly anticipated Boxpark shopping mall has now opened. The Waugh Thistleton designed site now sees the stacked shipping containers play host to retailers from Nike and Calvin Klein with food from Pieminister and Chopp’d.
The KLH timber structure has recently been completed at 52 Whitmore Road and the roofers are currently on site. The British Sweet Chestnut cladding is due to arrive just before Christmas so it won’t be long before the outer shell of the building is under way.
Work on Stoke Newington Road continues apace with with the concrete frame up to 4th floor level. The project is scheduled to be complete in Autumn 2012.
