Dezeen Awards 2022 - Scaffolding Board House longlisted for Sustainability Award

We are thrilled to announce that our Scaffolding board house has been long listed for the 2022 @dezeenawards_

Selected from 5,400 entries from 90 countries to Dezeen Awards this year, our project is in the running to win an award later this year in the Sustainability categories. More information on the Dezeen Awards website: https://www.dezeen.com/awards/2022/longlists/scaffolding-board-house/

Repurposed scaffolding boards were used as the main structural element for this house extension and reconfiguration in Whitechapel. We explored a range of strategies to minimise waste and embodied carbon in this project, from the repurposed scaffolding boards for the majority of structure, to reused bricks, to salvaged internal fixtures and fittings to reduced concrete through pad foundations. Thanks to our wonderful clients in pulling this together, and to @fordhamconsulting for the structural design and TBS Contractors for the build.
