    The Client

    Elements Europe working in collaboration with Mace has delivered a 343 bedroom mixed use scheme comprising of both student and residential accommodation on behalf of Chancery Gate Asset Management Ltd.

    The project is located in the heart of central London near to Whitechapel.

    The Project

    The £2.7 million project saw Elements Europe use their Strucmet and Strucpod products, providing the complete light steel frame structure, 343 structural bathroom pods , corridors, as well as access and service areas for the development.

    The circular building extended to 8 stories, and posed several challenges such as a faceted front elevation, angled rooms and corner windows. Elements Europe undertook the delivery and installation which integrated seamlessly with Mace’s construction programme.

    The Strucpod system consists of structural bathroom pods that stack on top of each other, helping to save money in the structure and providing a ‘core’ for the Strucmet to be tied into.

    The Strucmet system provides the structure of the building using light gauge steel frame. The steel is rolled in our own manufacturing facility before being formed into panelised wall sections which are then delivered directly to site for installation.
