Barking Road Phase 2
Barking Road is a recently completed £6.9m residential project for One Housing Group. The new build project is located in a highly prominent position, virtually overlooking the Canning Town Flyover on the Barking Road, close to the city docklands.
The building is designed as three distinct cubic structures, one as a transparent form, one as a gold ‘box’ and one building as a ‘cast’ box. The property design boasts rich materials, including glass and aluminium panels finished in deep bronze, silver and gold. The first and second layers use progressive alpolic rain screen cladding, whilst rendered block work is used on the third. OCL were contracted by the developers, Galliford Try Pantership, to complete all drywall and render works.
The key materials that were used include 800m² of Weber render for the exterior, which was applied by hand, Metsec, Knauf, as well as painting. At peak there was a maximum of 30 OCL labourers on site. OCL installed 9744m² of Knauf drywall for the interior of this project.
