The architects calculated that the resulting structure is five times lighter than if it was made from concrete.<\/p>\n<p>The lighter core allowed the team to build much higher on the site than\u00a0previously thought viable, given its proximity to a planned route for\u00a0Crossrail\u00a0\u2013 a new railway line spanning London.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Waugh \u2013 founder of\u00a0Waugh Thistleton \u2013 said that the project demonstrated &#8220;the future of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/making-change-environmentally-friendly-construction\/33826\">low carbon construction<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our building offers an exemplar solution to a demand which will only increase: the construction of high density, affordable and environmentally sustainable homes,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, Waugh said CLT heralded the\u00a0 &#8220;new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/uk-could-miss-out-on-renaissance-in-timber-construction-say-architects\/36060\">timber <\/a>age&#8221;,\u00a0predicting the material would become increasingly popular\u00a0as architects embraced its practical and aesthetic qualities.<\/p>\n<p>CLT is produced by layering three, five or seven pieces of timber at right angles and gluing them together. The resulting material is highly versatile, lighter than steel or concrete, and less carbon-polluting to produce.<\/p>\n<p>The use of this material means the building will also be carbon negative for the first few years of its use.<\/p>\n<p>The timber frame has 50% less embodied CO<sub>2<\/sub> than a traditional concrete frame. It also locks in 2,600 tonnes of CO<sub>2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dalston Works demonstrates the possibilities of engineered, cross-laminated timber as a cost efficient, and desperately necessary, viable alternative to the polluting technologies of concrete and steel,&#8221; said Waugh.<\/p>\n<p>The prefabricated frame of Dalston Works was constructed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/can-offsite-construction-solutions-kick-start-a-housing-revolution\/35443\">offsite <\/a>and delivered in pieces before being assembled.<\/p>\n<p>The process took just 374 days to complete, and site deliveries were carefully orchestrated to avoid disruption to the local area.<\/p>\n<p>Dalston works comprises a cluster of buildings between five and ten storeys, with the varying roof heights designed to allow daylight to reach the courtyards below.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/timber-frame-bim-library-smes\/34818\">CLT frame<\/a> has been covered by a brickwork facade, referencing the Edwardian and Victorian architecture of the neighbouring terraces and warehouses<\/p>\n<p>The \u00a324m mixed-use development from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.regal-london.co.uk\/\">Regal London\u00a0<\/a>includes 121 apartments, 1,500-square-metres of restaurant and retail space, and a 3,500-square-metre &#8216;flexible workspace hub&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The one, two and three bedroom apartments feature interiors designed by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/conranandpartners.com\/\">Conran and Partners<\/a>, and are available furnished or unfurnished.<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dalston-works.co.uk\/\">here\u00a0<\/a>to view the project in full.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Work has been completed on a 10-storey carbon-neutral apartment complex in Dalston, London, claimed to be the &#8220;world&#8217;s largest cross-laminated timber building&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[942,304],"tags":[676,583,696,915],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-36089","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-mmc-news","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-construction","9":"tag-construction-products","10":"tag-offsite-construction","11":"tag-timber"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Dalston Works project showcases the future of cross-laminated timber | Planning, Building &amp;
