DESCRIPTION
At the edge of the Grand Union Canal in Hackney the site presented very tight constraints that influenced the construction methodology. The project comprises of 25 flats, 7 of which are designated as Housing Association. The facades are either rendered or onto the canal, brickwork with several features. We have used an offsite system of manufacture for the facades, as this dealt well with the constraints of the site and offered a speed and quality to the programme. The structural system is concrete slabs and columns over which the panels are fixed.
