PROJECT REPORT: RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS


Homes Level 4, and the shell and core for the offices being to BREEAM Excellent Offices standard. In addition, when the offices come to be fitted out, it will be done to a Green Lease (an ‘eco’-based commercial lease).


As well as being project architect, Atlee is also a BREEAM Accredited Professional (AP). In addition to bringing her high degree of knowledge on the assessment process, and focus on sustainability, simply having her on board as part of the design team gained the project BREEAM credits. All the apartments have low water consuming sanitaryware, taps with adjustable flow rates, and low energy appliances. The building is connected to a district heating system (a condition of planning), and rainwater is collected in underground tanks to be used for irrigation. PV panels on the two towers’ roofs are combined with an area of brown roof to support biodiversity, and there’s also some rare Jersey Cudweed, a plant with just two surviving UK populations. It was discovered during early site surveys, and later bagged up and moved to the roof. Swift and bat boxes have been ensconced within the building’s brick elevations. There was a further sustainability challenge in terms of logistics posed by Tower Hamlets planners – the project team had to organise barge deliveries of some materials in order to reduce the scheme’s impact in terms of carbon emissions and pollution from lorries. It was easier said than done, says Atlee: “They came into the dock, and getting permission to close it off was challenging.” She adds: “I’m a sustainability person, that’s my background, and I support the environmental benefits of the logistics requirement – and while it was difficult to implement, it’s good to have done it.” With “excellent levels of insulation and air tightness,” all apartments are supplied with fresh air thanks to MVHR units. Atlee comments: “It was a squeeze getting the plant into the service voids while maintaining 2.6 metre clear floor to ceiling heights” – the project’s 3D BIM model was instrumental to ensuring this was done as painlessly as possible.


As well as being a rare mainstream residential project for the studio, this is also the first built project that aLL has applied Revit on; “We do everything with Revit now,” says Atlee, adding that the structural engineer and MEP were also using the same model.
