Welcome to our blog documenting the construction of two new houses in Asylum Road, Peckham. The design of the scheme can be seen on our website.

These have been named the Laundry Houses. During the design phases of the project, we found that there had been a laundry on the site of Albert Way, the road that the new houses will open onto. The laundry theme has informed the material and design decisions we have been making.

Over the coming months we will be posting photographs of the construction process and images of things that have influenced and informed the design.

Come back regularly to follow our progress, or visit www.quay2c.com to find out more about us and our work.

Back lightwell to the north house. The extra upstand denotes where the solid timber external above ground walls will sit.

Both lightwells seen from the side still with the trench boxes which are about to be taken out and repositioned for the next pour & precast units.

Today was our first pour of in-situ concrete walls. Unfortunately the rain wasn't our friend but we wanted to get the pour done so that it can cure over the bank holiday weekend. This will allow us to move the trench boxes next week. The area seen is to the rear light wells which are smaller, more complex bits to do in a more bespoke manner before the precast panels appear to do the more regular boundary wall conditions.
