New Build: Affordable Housing
Runner-Up: Hanover Park, London

Hanover Park, Peckham, London SE15, will provide accommodation for key workers from Kings College Hospital Trust and South London & Maudsley NHS Trust, and is set to become a local landmark and define future schemes in Southwark. The £9M project comprised 77 flats in four residential blocks located around a central glazed access walkway, with landscaped courtyards and a new public open space.

A fast-track construction used prefabricated bathroom and service pods internally; lightweight steel frame walls externally, clad variously with standing seam zinc cladding, two contrasting through coloured acrylic renders and brick effect render; and extensive glazed panels.

The architect, Alan Camp, wanted to achieve a U-value of 0.25 W/m_K, and so used PermaRock’s BRE accredited phenolic external wall insulation system with 70 mm insulation and a combination of contrasting acrylic and brick effect render finishes. The system designer was PermaRock Products Ltd; and the installer George Howe Ltd - both INCA members.
