Lewisham Exchange

Lewisham Exchange

Construction of two buildings of 20 and 35 storeys in height over a single storey basement. Lewisham Exchange provides student and residential accommodation as well as shops, cafes, public and private amenity areas and entrance to future Lewisham Bakerloo Line extension station. The proposed tube tunnels and station box for the Bakerloo line beneath the site required consultation with TFL and resulted in a complex foundation design.

A detailed ground movement analysis and design of 13m long transfer structures in the foundations to span the future tunnel were required together with vibration isolation pads within the structural frame.

Despite the complexity of its location, the towers were delivered in just 18 months. The 758 student rooms and 67 affordable homes meet a recognised local need and bring a vibrant, mixed community into the heart of the town.

Karma House London, UK

The redevelopments of Karma House provides a 450 room student accommodation building in Wembley provided by 529 modules. The building is stepped in height up to 20 floors with a small central area of basement. The accommodation areas are provided by an offsite modular solution which in turn is supported by traditional reinforced concrete. Some of the modular units extend from ground floor while two of the buildings projecting wings commence with modular two floors up. Modules are delivered to site with completed internally.

The building is stabilised by a reinforced concrete core constructed using slip form construction methods. Modules are erected as the slip form work proceeds above. As with all Vision Modular buildings the external finishes are applied on site so upon completion there is no evidence of how the building was constructed. The project is scheduled for completion within a 12 month site period.

Trapezium, Park Lane

Trapezium, Park Lane

The development of this constrained site included the construction of an 8 storey RC frame building over a basement car park and cycle store, providing 91 purpose-built student accommodation units along with private amenities such as gym, cinema, laundry, and café shop.

The site complexities included a 10 metres level change between the front and rear facades, which were tight to the site boundary and bounded by public highways. Detailed analysis of the construction sequence was required to optimise the structure for the varying conditions throughout the build process, along with the development of the associated temporary works sequences to ensure the construction was progressed in line with the design.

The wholistic approach towards the construction helped to unlock this otherwise derelict site for development.

Barrett Mahony were Civil and Structural consultants from concept stage to completion.

UCD Masterplan

UCD Masterplan Dublin, Ireland

The ambition of the University is to grow its student residential accommodation from circa 3000 up to circa 6,000 study bed spaces and to inter‐link the existing student residential villages on the Belfield campus.

The Masterplan Scheme connects the existing student residence enclaves of Merville, Belgrove, Glenomena and Roebuck with a new series of buildings. The masterplan provides for almost 2,200 student residential units and has been developed as a phased development.

Phase 1 of the masterplan consists of 924 beds within 3 buildings and a Student Amenity facility of over 3,500m². Phase 1 was completed in late 2021.

Phase 2 will comprise circa 1200 bed spaces in 3 blocks over a single level basement car park and is currently programmed for completion in 2025.

St Crispin’s House Norwich, UK

Barrett Mahony acted as Civil & Structural consultants from concept through completion for the regeneration of St Crispin’s House, a 1970’s office building in Norwich.

Sustainability and programme were at the heart of this purposebuilt student accommodation (PBSA) scheme, with the retention of the structural frame critical to the viability of the project.

Detailed load balance assessments, combined with a series of strengthening works, enabled a 3 storey vertical extension over the existing building, to achieve the requirements of the proposed scheme. A five-storey new build extension forms part of the overall development. The completed development comprises 684 student beds.
