Sustainable Development
Griffith Wood incorporates various sustainability features such as green roofs, underground attenuation tanks for space-saving, permeable paving, landscaping around mature trees, and a new public park with wildflower beds for pollinators. Additionally, SFS panels in the concrete frame reduce carbon emissions. The development comprises A-rated apartments served by a central plant room for district heating in Blocks 2-7 and Exhaust Air Heat Pumps (EAHP) in Block 1. It also offers electrical car charging points with remote monitoring and future expansion provisions.
Award-Winning Innovation
During Griffith Wood's development, innovative methods included 3D BIM models for precise service coordination, off-site prefabrication of heating pipework, precast structural elements, and off-site bathroom pods for consistency and safety. Non-load-bearing Light Gauge Steel panels reduced carbon and saved time. Standardised apartment layouts streamlined construction, and Layher scaffolding facilitated efficient site logistics.
