Dalston Lane, Hackney<br />
Waugh Thistleton Architects<br />
Dalston Lane is the world’s largest CLT<br />
building, and a landmark project in<br />
the architects ambition to roll out the<br />
use of timber construction in highdensity<br />
urban housing, across London<br />
and beyond.<br />
The ten storey, 121 unit development<br />
is made entirely of CLT, from the<br />
external, party and core walls, through<br />
to the floors and stairs, weighing a<br />
fifth of a concrete building of this size,<br />
and reducing the number of deliveries<br />
during construction by 80 per cent.<br />
Attempting to tackle London’s<br />
demand for high quality, highdensity<br />
housing that provide a natural<br />
and healthy living environment,<br />
this groundbreaking use of timber<br />
technology has significantly reduced<br />
the carbon footprint of the building in<br />
terms of both material production and<br />
on-site time and energy consumption.<br />
