Heyne Tillett Steel

6 St Andrew Street has undergone a remarkable transformation that we’re proud to have delivered 🌟    Project Director Tom Lacey and Associate Magnus Wills share some of their thoughts on this comprehensive scheme which addresses every aspect of retrofit and workplace design in a single project.    In 2022 GPE acquired the building, aiming to expand its portfolio of fully managed offices. Today, it offers everything from premium reception services and high-speed WiFi to a yoga studio in the basement and community-focused activities in the communal kitchen, providing office workers with a holistic work experience.    A standout feature of the project is the addition of the 8th and 9th floors, built using 25 tonnes of reclaimed steel in partnership with Heyne Tillett Steel and Cleveland Steel & Tubes Ltd. The new roof terrace offers breathtaking views – St. Andrew's Church by Christopher Wren and Hatton Garden to the north, Smithfield Market to the east, the Shard and Tate Modern to the south, and the spires of the Maughan Library on Chancery Lane to the west.

NEWS: London Borough of Southwark approves AHMM designed over-station development. Last night, Wednesday 5th March, a joint venture between Places for London, Transport for London’s property company, and central London developer Helical plc, has received planning approval from the London Borough of Southwark for the development of a 15 storey purpose-built student accommodation scheme, comprising 429 studio apartments, and an adjacent nine storey building comprising 44 affordable homes, above Southwark station.   AHMM director Philip Turner is quoted: “The Southwark Over Station Development will be a significant new local landmark at a busy junction. Led by our clients Helical and Places for London, and working closely with Heyne Tillett Steel, our design seeks to make the most of this long-standing opportunity site while addressing the complexities of its location above the tube station. This project will deliver student housing, retail space, and public realm improvements, in addition to a significant amount of affordable housing for the local community.” Read more on the Architects’ Journal: https://lnkd.in/euVSBscf #PlanningApproval #Southwark #StudentAccomodation Southwark Council

A mammoth effort from all involved—delighted to share that we successfully secured planning permission last night for this landmark scheme in Westminster on behalf of Berkeley Estate Asset Management. With 51% of the building’s mass retained in situ and substantial circular-economy commitments to reusing existing site materials, the project stands as a brilliant example of sustainable redevelopment at a time when it’s needed most.

We're thrilled to unveil our brand-new website! We've been working hard behind the scenes creating a new website and refreshed brand identity that aptly reflects the dynamic nature of the practice as we celebrate 18 years of Heyne Tillett Steel. We worked with the talented team at Rabbithole to build on our established brand and develop a new site that showcases who we are and what we do in a way that’s exciting, engaging and easy to navigate. As well as a completely new user experience from the homepage through to projects, news and people, we’ve added several brand-new sections including: ➡️ A dedicated HTS+ area, where you’ll find the latest research, tools and insights published by our self-funded research initiative ➡️ A new Services page, introducing our integrated approach to structural, civil and geotechnical engineering ➡️ A new ‘How we made it’ series of technical case studies exploring the process behind our projects (you can find that in News & Views) Head to hts.uk.com to take a look around, we’d love to hear what you think. 🎥 Dion Barrett

Timber Square has reached structural completion, topping out the largest commercial CLT structure in the UK.   Transforming a large industrial site in Southwark's Bankside area, Timber Square is a pioneering net zero carbon mixed-use redevelopment comprising 52,000m² of office accommodation across two buildings. The Print Building, a former printworks, retains 80% of the original structure, fully refurbished and extended with six additional storeys. Next to this sits the Ink Building, a new-build 15-storey office.   By prioritising retention, utilising engineered timber and incorporating reused steel, Timber Square leads the way in green building practices. 115 tonnes of reclaimed steel was matched and procured using the HTS Stockmatcher, saving 276 tonnes of embodied carbon compared to new steel. The structural design was further optimised for the use of over 50% scrap-EAF steel - steel primarily produced from scrap using an Electric Arc Furnace - which has a much lower carbon footprint than steel produced using traditional blast-furnace methods.   Marking this significant milestone for the project, Tom Watson, Director, commented: "A joyous afternoon at the Timber Square topping out ceremony, and a chance to reflect on some impressive stats: • The tallest building in the UK with CLT floors • The tallest building in the world with a hybrid steel and CLT structure • One of the largest (if not the largest) CLT projects in Europe, sequestering 4999 tonnes of embodied carbon Taller mass-timber buildings exist in the US, Canada and Europe - I hope this project helps progress regulatory acceptance to allow similar buildings to be developed in the UK."   Completing in Q4 2025, Timber Square is targeting Net Zero Carbon as well as other industry-leading certifications including BREEAM Outstanding, Well Platinum and a minimum NABERS 5-star rating, setting a benchmark for large-scale commercial developments with sustainable design at the centre.

Reusing foundations – are you making the most of the opportunities? Below ground construction is typically composed of high-volume, resource-intensive materials like concrete, steel, and polymers. While their durability and integrity is paramount, their potential for reuse can be overlooked, missing a huge opportunity to reduce material waste, decrease embodied carbon, and drive more circular construction practices. Andy Tyler, Head of Geotechnical at Heyne Tillett Steel, will be discussing the ‘why’, the ‘how’, and what to consider when it comes to reusing foundations at tomorrow’s Exploring Reuse Opportunities: Below Ground Products webinar, hosted by the Alliance for Sustainable Building Products. Joining Andy will be Roy Fishwick, Cleveland Steel & Tubes Ltd; Iain Bell, John Lawrie Tubulars UK & Europe; and PIOTR BABST, Winkelmann Foundation Screw.

Should we impose stricter carbon targets on luxury housing? 🏢 Currently, a building's size doesn't affect whether it achieves embodied carbon targets or not - current industry targets are independent of a building's end use. 🏡 For example: both a mansion built for one person and a block of flats built for many, if both efficiently designed, may be classed as "low-carbon" despite having very different carbon footprints per person. ⚠️ We have a housing crisis and our carbon budget to 2050 is running low so we need to think very carefully about how we deliver the housing needs of the many within our planetary boundaries. 👓 Read our blog post about it here:  https://lnkd.in/erXg3pjm Heyne Tillett Steel
