1206 - Featherstone Building

Islington

The project is a new-build, 10-storey commercial development near Old Street station with Morris + Company Architects. 

Key Features

• RC framed building with exposed concrete walls, columns and flat slabs, which required careful detailing to meet architectural requirements.

• Slabs designed to incorporate cast in cooling pipes to make use of the thermal mass of the building.

• Piled substructure, with a single storey basement under the whole site. Contiguous piled walls installed at ground level and set in board of existing basement walls, to increase basement depth.

• Northern line and Network Rail tunnels are located a short distance from the site and required cantilever pile caps to set back the piles and minimise the impact on the tunnels.
