A multi-award winning housing project in Bourbon Lane, White City, London was built using modern methods of construction to achieve an EcoHomes Good rating.
Consisting of a mix of family houses, maisonettes and flats at three, four and five stories the development provides 78 affordable homes including shared ownership opportunities as well as affordable rented housing.
Within the project, over 5,000 m2 of Nordicon wall elements were installed onto a structural steel frame. These pre-fabricated light-gauge steel panels were manufactured off-site to be fully weather protected, complete with windows and doors. Panels arrived in sealed packs and were hoisted up and fixed to the structural frame by expert installers who then affixed the larch rainscreen cladding using cherry pickers. The off-site solution was chosen to help minimize onsite construction and deliveries in this heavily congested area and ensure a highly consistent build quality.
