Light steel specialist Stanta has commenced work on new projects in Cambridge and London to develop housing solutions.
Knights Park, Eddington
The Knights Park scheme forms part of the vast north west Cambridge redevelopment plan and has been a project in which the Hill Group have had a large part to play.
Located within Eddington, a new area conceived by the University of Cambridge, the low carbon buildings range in height from three to five storeys, with most homes having dual aspect accommodation.
Lot M3 occupies a landmark site within Cambridge University’s Eddington development, providing 106 highly sustainable private sale apartments that will complete the central market square. The apartments are arranged in two terraces around a central long gallery and an east-facing facade of stepping box bay balconies overlooks the new cricket pitch. This compact courtyard and architectural modelling are designed to echo the intricacy of historic Cambridge in a contemporary manner.
Lot 4 is an 88 dwelling scheme and is the third of Alison Brooks Architects’ projects in Eddington – Cambridge’s first net zero carbon urban extension. The buildings are composed of a mix of one bed and two bed apartments and three bed and four bed houses with the buildings defining a strong street edge. The facades are broken down by inset balconies, projecting porches, dormer windows and double height inset entrances.
Stanta’s scope on the projects consists of a mix of steel framing systems, boarding, window and door support plates and more. Work began onsite in Q1 2024.
Friary Park, Acton, London
Stanta has also begun working with Mount Anvil for phase 1B and 2 at the large new Friary Park development in Acton, London. Situated near the new Acton Main Line station, Friary Park is an estate regeneration project which is a joint venture in the London Borough of Acton, with Catalyst and Mount Anvil working in partnership. The redevelopment will deliver around 990 new homes, with 45 per cent affordable.
The design of the new development, in a series of blocks of between three and 24 storeys high, will prioritise people, with green open spaces, podium gardens, allotments, an exercise trail and play areas aimed at improving the lives of residents.
The new homes will be spacious and well insulated, with economical heating, plenty of natural light and with every home enjoying private outdoor space in the form of a garden, balcony or terrace, as well as access to semi-private green spaces for each block. Stanta’s scope of works includes the design supply and installation of more than 15,000sqm of steel framing systems, boards and insulations, with work set to begin onsite in Q2 2024.
