application of massive wood construction in residential urban infill projects in London. The urban infill is a way to increase urban density and create additional space using the existing voids without the need of investment in urbanization or infrastructure. Another environmental advantage of urban infill implementation in central areas of the city is that it promotes living styles less dependent of transportation.

facade completely shaded The aim is to achieve low energy consumption, minimize the environmental impact of the construction process and to explore how far the use of wood can be extended under an environmental framework. The challenges faced by urban infill projects such as obstructed sites and difficult construction logistics can be override with prefabricated airtight structures in wood. The system used possesses thermal properties that allow the adoption of design strategies in order to extend the adaptability of buildings to more intensive occupation patterns and hotter weather conditions.
