‘Modern Methods of Construction’
Epsom Road
| CLIENT: | London and Quadrant Housing Group |
| CONSULTANT: | Buschow Henley Limited |
| LOCATION: | 1-12 Nursery Terrace, Epsom Road, Leyton, E10 |
OUR ROLE
The demolition of an existing Day Nursery and the design and construction of 12no 3 storey houses.
THE PROJECT
The biggest challenge on this design and build development was not only the demolition of an existing nursery and the construction of 12no 3 storey houses but, having to work within a small site surrounded by 80-year-old protected trees.
These houses had to be built as ecologically sound dwellings that are comfortable, exciting and perform exceptionally well in terms of energy efficiency.
Specialist ‘pile and beam’ foundations were designed around the surrounding tree roots to ensure minimal disturbance to the trees. With careful planning and diligent action being essential, we erected highly insulated timber framed properties with a specialist cladding system, traditional slate roof coverings, and powder coated aluminum windows.
This project is a good example of the practical applications of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). The scheme was designed & built with the environment in mind, as all materials used were from sustainable sources.
