Summary
Centenary Square has developed 33 new build apartments, providing domestic accommodation for those over the age of 55. The project has been completed for Wales and West Housing and was partly funded by the Welsh Assembly Government. The development was named Best Social/Affordable Housing Scheme by the LABC.
Project Information
The former Local Authority Office site was reconstructed to develop Centenary Square; it has a total of three floors, and is constructed using traditional construction methods. Foundations consist of driven steel tubular piles, concrete cast in situ ground beams, brick and block work cavity walls and pre-cast concrete floors on all levels.
The roof finish is a mixture of metal standing seam to the sloped area and single ply membrane to the flat roof areas. The project met Lifetime Homes standards, achieving a Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3+.
The project was delivered in a BIM environment and utilised lean construction techniques which assisted in achieving a total of 80% of waste being diverted from landfill.
