700 Student Apartments by 2024

The project at 181 Talgarth Road in Hammersmith, London, overseen by main contractor HG Construction and architect Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP), aims to provide purpose-built student accommodation. This development, backed by the Dominvs Group and slated for completion in 2024, will deliver over 700 apartments tailored for students, addressing the increasing demand for high-quality student housing driven by rising student populations.

Unique Pixelated Facades

Our scope of work includes delivering bespoke unitised curtain walls and stick system curtain walls covering more than 10,000 m2, contributing to the building's distinctive aesthetic and functional requirements. The construction features a peak height of 55 meters with green terraces every two bays, lowering to 26.5 meters at its lowest point. The north and south facades are designed with a pixelated pattern of transparent, translucent, and solid panels, effectively managing daylight, privacy, and visibility.

Sustainable Practices and BREEAM

This project emphasizes sustainable practices and intends to achieve 'BREEAM Excellent' accreditation and 'Air Quality Neutral' status. The design includes additional tree planting in the courtyard and public realms to enhance biodiversity and green spaces. KG Constructions Group is committed to planting a tree for every unitised curtain wall unit produced, with over 9,000 trees to be planted in Lithuanian forests as part of their '5 Year Sustainability Strategy'. This policy highlights our dedication to environmental responsibility and a sustainable future.
