The Paradise build in 40-seconds.   We wanted to share this impressive footage of the mass timber frame and flooring taking shape at our Paradise project over the past few months. Throughout you can see the installation of key design features including the timber hybrid superstructure, CLT floors, glulam beams and the concrete and steel core.   We topped out the project this month and expect to be complete in early 2025 and would like to thank the teams who have been central to the progress we have made so far. Gilbert-Ash, Quartz Project Services, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios (FCBStudios), B&K Hybrid Solutions, Webb Yates Engineers, CHP, and OFR Consultants.   On completion Paradise will be a best-in-class low carbon office development, raising the bar for sustainable commercial development in London.

The Eurban team are delighted to be nearing the completion of the CLT frame for The Cascade. This landmark scheme on a tight urban site in Cardiff, is the first mid-rise residential mass timber structure to be delivered in the UK in recent years.   Being delivered by Langstone Construction Group Ltd for Linc Cymru, the seven-storey CLT scheme came about at a time of great sensitivity - it required a visionary, ambitious client to steer the project agenda with tenacity through such difficult times. Linc Cymru delivered on this, remaining committed to their target for low-carbon construction.   The Client team has spearheaded a collaborative approach throughout and from our earliest involvement in 2018, EURBAN Limited’s role of Specialist Designer Engineer and expertise in mass timber construction has helped facilitate the navigation of complex technical issues that have arisen along the way.    Once completed, The Cascade will house 48 high quality, affordable one-bedroom apartments and two retail units.   Powell Dobson Architects Ltd.
