Located in Clapton, Hackney, this residential development was designed to maximise the potential of a constrained urban site, creating a series of studio apartments arranged around stepped rear levels and landscaped external spaces.

​

Boulder Consultants provided structural engineering input for the development, designing a robust concrete frame solution to form the primary structure of the building. The stepped arrangement of the rear elevations required careful consideration of the changing levels and the integration of the structure within the site constraints.

​

The upper storey was designed using a lightweight steel and timber construction approach, reducing the overall structural load while providing flexibility within the architectural design. The combination of materials created an efficient structural solution, balancing performance, buildability and the requirements of the residential layout.

​

Through a considered engineering approach, Boulder helped deliver a practical and efficient structure that responds to the challenges of developing within a dense urban environment.
