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.

Diana came in and did a bit more work on the front view of the houses. Work is well underway setting up the fit out contract after the solid laminated timber super structure goes in over a couple of weeks in mid October. We are looking at a mid spring 2014 completion date and things are on time and on budget as they say at the moment! 

Nice sunny day on Saturday and this is the view of the site from the top floor of the existing house showing work progressing.

The back bedrooms concrete floor now poured and giving us a good area to store plant and machinery as we move towards the front of the site.

The site getting prepared for a significant area of ground floor slab being poured.

A rather Bruegalesque view of the site from the rear gardens yesterday. The trench boxes setting the pre cast wall panels are now firing along. Once the pour is made of the slab on Thursday the area the digger is sitting on will be dug out and the two side slabs connected giving us more space for material storage. After this operations will be moving towards retaining the street to the front. When this is done the final push for our end of September conclusion of the basement contract will be to connect the back and front together while installing the drainage sumps etc.
