CHESHIRE STREET
London
The project involved the demolition of a four-storey terrace of flats with shops below, and the construction of twelve new apartments, with offices below on the ground floor and a double-height basement.
The construction was a contiguous piled basement with brick-clad, concrete-frame superstructure.
The site is in the heart of the Brick Lane/Cheshire Street Market, and the southern boundary of the site is 2m away from the main line into Liverpool Street station so the management of Health & Safety, methods of working, scaffolding and working hours was a major challenge. Services included comfort cooling, full underfloor heating to bathrooms, a building management system, solar panels, rainwater storage, irrigation, security, and intruder alarms.
