2 Lucan Place
London, UK
Situated in London’s Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, 2 Lucan Place is a high-quality, mixed-use development that combines residential, social and community uses. The eight-storey building respects its local context through its scale, massing and materiality, to meet a range of local needs and improve the public realm.
​
The scheme comprises an efficient mix of new homes, plus social community space on the ground and lower-ground floor, designed for nursery and educational use.
A COMPLEX TERRACOTTA SOLUTION
SUMMARY
For 2 Lucan Place, Frame Facades was involved to provide design and engineering services for a terracotta cladding situated at the ground floor and first floor of the building. The complexity was due to the limited space for fixing and the terracotta dimensions, which was quite difficult to fabricate due to the strict tolerances.
