Mapleton Crescent is an iconic 27-storey tower in south London delivered for Pocket Living in just 18 months. It contains a mix of apartment types, 60% of which are affordable.

The scheme was originally designed traditionally, but volumetric delivery was key to making the highly constrained 450m² site, bounded by a TfL Red route, a shopping centre and the River Wandle, viable.

The tower covers the site’s whole triangular footprint. This was made possible by the innovative construction method, which involved assembling the building from above. The slimline three-sided core provided the base for a single crane to position all 283 fully fitted, loadbearing units in eight weeks, at a rate of eight units a day.

Volumetric programme benefits

Volumetric manufacture accounted for three-quarters of construction, but less than 8% of total construction time.
