The G-frame team installed this high-end roof-top extension on top of a building which sits beneath a seventeen storey apartment block.

  • Blaker Island wins at the Structural Timber Awards
    Blaker Island wins at the Structural Timber Awards
    Fantastic to see Blaker Island win the Best Private Housing Award at the 2019 Structural Timber Awards. This was a very challenging CLT project which G-frame installed in just six weeks on a tiny operational lock-keeper’s island on London’s Stratford Back Rivers. Building on such a small and difficult site presented a uniquely complex set of weight and accessibility constraints. To overcome this, G-frame’s installation strategy involved a 100 tonne mobile crane erected adjacent to the site which was used to lift in a self-erecting IGO50 mini tower crane to the island. The scheme by Roberts & Treguer comprises a five-storey CLT apartment block and pair of semi-detached town houses designed to meet passivhaus airtightness standards of 0.6 ACH. Roberts & Treguer’s sensitive design carefully preserves the history of the area and proves that a generous design ethos does not need to impact on profitability. ...
