New Build
Juxon and Sail provides 72 new affordable units between them and provides a mix of one and two bedroom homes. The scheme took two underused infill sites, and through a well-considered architectural approach manages to better integrate the existing residential estate with the urban context. This is achieved by using the new buildings to enclose the existing amenity space while providing contemporary street frontages onto the adjacent streets. This scheme is built with modular construction, seeing the majority of the building constructed off-site and delivered and placed on site over a three week window. This reduced the construction program by one third and created less on site waste and disturbance for neighbours, and resulted in a higher quality finish. Using BIM greatly facilitated the manufacture process. HKR was able to directly share and develop building models with the fabrication team, testing build-ability, coordination, and improving cost certainty and programme. The off-site construction is achieved via controlled assembly line process. The pods are completely finished internally in the factory with some final finishing occurring on site. Pods are delivered to site with; windows, doors, insulation, plumbing wiring and ducting. Upon delivery the modules are slotted into place as final services are connected on site. HKR Architects has a track-record of delivering significant residential-led mixed-use projects nationally and internationally. In the last 10 years HKR have delivered around 3,000 residential units using MMC’s, including volumetric methodologies.
