Bourbon Lane, White City, London

The Architect developed an innovative cantilevered design, with steel at its heart to allow maximum use to be gained from the site whilst still maintaining provision of private space for residents and semi-public courtyards. The steel solution enabled the realisation of the 6m cantilevered sections, the principle architectural features of the development. The rest of the frame uses shallow beams and columns with  precast hollow core floor in-situ structural topping to give floor plates with few downstands.

Over 5,000 m² of Nordicon wall elements were installed onto the frame. These pre-fabricated light-gauge steel panels were manufactured offsite to be fully weather protected, complete with windows and doors. The offsite solution was chosen to help minimise onsite construction and deliveries in this heavily congested area and ensure a highly consistent build quality.
