To enable Plot 1 to deliver the highest quality structure that is both eye-catching and environmentally friendly, PCE’s ‘Kit of Parts’ will blend structural materials consisting of engineered cross-laminated timber (CLT) floors with precast concrete structural frame and core, showcasing the company’s expertise in interchanging structural materials.
This innovative, flexible use of materials is primarily driven by sustainability targets and aesthetics to create a truly hybrid structure that aligns with Brent Cross Town's net zero ambitions. Using both precast and CLT achieves circa 22% less embodied carbon than an insitu solution, whilst also achieving lower embodied carbon than LETI aligned 2030 targets.
