This high rise development forms part of the regeneration of the Paddington basin area. The Dudley House project involves the demolition of a number of existing buildings that sit at the junction of North Wharf Road and the Harrow Road.

Structa are providing civil and structural design services for the development comprising a new 22 storey residential tower block, 7 storey secondary school for Marylebone Boys Free School and church for the Central Pentecostal Church. The buildings sit over a single level basement that provides car and cycle spaces, plant rooms and a new sports hall for the school.

The client requires the new buildings to be energy efficient to ensure low long term running costs for all of the buildings with an expectation for BREEAM ‘Very Good’ for the school and church and Council for Sustainable Homes Level 4 for the residential element. High quality construction both internally and externally is also required to ensure ongoing maintenance costs are kept to a minimum.
