The Warehouse and Howard’s House

A private residential CLT development built in Stratford’s Back Rivers on a small, operational lock-keeper’s island. The development consists of a five-storey apartment block and pair of semi-detached town houses built either side of the refurbished lock-keeper’s house. The dwellings are designed to meet passivhaus airtightness standards of 0.6 ACH and it is estimated that over a 60 year period they will save 192 tonnes of CO2 compared with a typical UK home. G-frame were responsible for the design, supply and installation of the CLT superstructures. Use of CLT helped to overcome weight and access limitations presented by the man-made island which is surrounded by water on all sides with access via a small footbridge.
