The Frampton Park project creates three new residential blocks, a church building, café and community facilities on the existing 1930’s Frampton Park council housing estate. A courtyard garden formed by the new housing is open to the street and shared with the public. New spaces have been landscaped to provide space for church community gatherings and events.
The church’s interior uses glulam and cross-laminated timber which had clear advantages in the form of speed of construction, the inherent efficiencies of prefabrication, less onsite waste, robustness and quality of internal finishes. The project incorporates a low energy communal plantroom, consisting of efficient boilers and CHP system. Flow and return heating hot water temperatures are kept to a minimum to increase efficiency and aid mitigation of any overheating.
