Kingston University update 15 – time lapse video shows Town House construction

An offsite fabricated Hybrid construction approach

PCE Ltd worked with main contractor Willmott Dixon during the tender phase to develop an offsite fabricated Hybrid solution for the concrete frame of the new Kingston University Town House in London.

The majority of it is exposed and requires a high standard of finish with architectural finished concrete being used for 175 external mullion and spandrel panels and over 300 beams and columns. The video (above) is shown courtesy of Kingston University, London and shows time lapse photography of the development of the Town House, showing how well PCE's HybriDfMA approach worked on such a restricted site.

The concept to the completion

“The organisation makes a three-dimensional matrix, one singular complex space, which links the various elements of the brief to one another, while at the same time giving each its own identity and privacy. Spaces and uses interlock, overlap, connect physically or visually. This environment encourages collaboration and exchange.”
