MultiPly - Manufacturing of Tulipwood CLT panels
This award winning project was part of London Design Festival 2018 and challenged how we build our towns and cities.
Combining sustainable American tulipwood with innovative methods of modular construction, MultiPly confronted two of the current age’s biggest challenges – the pressing need for housing and the urgency to fight climate change.
The K-Briq: Not just another brick in the wall
It is anticipated that all new homes in Scotland will be zero carbon by 2020. This, together with new UK house building targets of creating 200,000 homes by 2020, creates both opportunities for more efficient waste management and the supply of building materials.
This project is to assess the feasibility and testing of a novel building material made from 90% recycled material from pilot production through to delivery of a demonstration structure with on-going monitoring. There is no equivalent product in the market with such credentials; highest recycled content and low energy required for production
AIMCH: Advanced Industrialised Methods for the Construction of Homes
The three-year Advanced Industrialised Methods for the Construction of Homes (AIMCH) project aims to tackle all the challenges the housing sector currently faces including skills shortages, an ageing workforce, poor productivity, low output and low affordability while also becoming a major player in the housing sector by identifying and developing industrialised offsite solutions needed to meet current and future house building demands.
