Barking - Sugden Way

Sugden Way uses a volumetric modular off-site housing system, designed to address London’s immediate affordable housing shortage. The project ensures a rapid, deliverable and cost-efficient solution for socially rented apartments.

Compliant with the old code for Sustainable Homes Level 4, the design seeks to limit energy and water usage and wastage by using well controlled manufacturing and installation methods.

The environmental performance is tested in a factory setting. The resultant homes are low energy, highly insulated and acoustically sound. The modular building system reduces programme length by up to 50% and saves over 75% in on-site time.

The solution enables flexibility in both module arrangement and façade treatment, which takes its cue from the surrounding context of the residential brick properties.
