The car park features alongside new office blocks and a residential tower, all of which will be net zero.
Maple Façades has recently completed the design, supply and installation of a perforated panel façade for Eden Campus Multi-Storey Car Park, a key element of the Eden Campus redevelopment project in London.
The entire Eden Campus project, including the car park, has been designed to be BREEAM Excellent and net carbon zero. The new car park will provide parking for over 350 cars and 450 cycle spaces for residents and employees.
The façade was designed in collaboration with Darlington Associates and installed for main contractors McLaughlin & Harvey. The perforated panels and expanded mesh panels feature a series of laser-cut diamonds of various sizes to create an intricate honeycomb effect. The expanded mesh panels were installed along the lower levels of the car park, meanwhile, the perforated panels have been installed across the remaining levels. These panels also feature a 50mm folded return, forming a sawtooth configuration and creating a sense of variation on all four elevations.
The project also marked another collaboration between Maple and Viritopia, as they were responsible for installing a living wall which also contributes to the car park’s net zero goals.
To ensure the functionality of the car park façade, Maple used cutting-edge desktop simulations to evaluate the panels’ resilience under various conditions, ensuring safety and reliability.
The project has been a great success for Maple, not only in terms of the final result but also due to our exemplary Health and Safety performance. In January, we achieved the highest ranking among subcontractors for Health and Safety compliance and we were commended for our proactive approach to MEWP barrier controls and PPE compliance.
Connor Casey, Site Manager at McLaughlin and Harvey, commended Maple’s conduct onsite awarding us 8/10 and stating, ‘We had no issues with Maple on the job, and we collaborated well with the install team. From a project management perspective, the project was well planned.”
