More from Less: 33 Cavendish Square
Combining deep retrofit, structural retention, and innovative concrete reuse with future-ready commercial design, BEAM’s transformation of 33 Cavendish Square offers a vision of what ‘retrofit-first’ can achieve.
Re-imagining a central London 1960s retail and office landmark, the scheme is retaining approximately 58% of the existing structure, significantly reducing embodied carbon.
For the parts of the building that could not be retained, cutting-edge slab design and innovative concrete mixes minimise structural depth and maximise reuse of material from the demolished structure. The client and design teams’ ambition is to push the reuse of concrete as far as possible to enable future projects to follow suit.
Join the team to explore:
- Reuse of 100% of demolished concrete as aggregate in new structural mixes
- How to build more with less and what is stopping reuse from becoming the new business-as-usual
- The future of low-carbon, circular concrete construction
