Private Apartments: New Build
Joint Runner-Up: Royal Artillery Quay,
Thamesmead, London

Royal Artillery Quay, Thamesmead, London, is a prestigious riverside development of 438 flats in eight tall blocks, scaling down to two-storeys. Spacing between the blocks allowed for light, landscaping and access to the river path. The concrete frame building was to a high specification for low cost effective energy and acoustic protection.

RMA Architects required a contemporary design, with light, bright clean lines. The weber.therm XM external wall insulation system, incorporating 90 mm EPS insulation, was finished in white render, complementing brick, steel and glass facades.

The system designer was Weber Building Solutions; the installer, Makers UK Ltd – both INCA members.
