Block 11 : Progress Image No 8 : Detail of Completed Building
The central tower with a polished blockwork plinth and render above; each tower is coloured differently. The horizontal movement joints in the render are to allow for settlement of the timber frame. The balconies are constructed in steel to comply with NHBC requirements and had to be supported on an independant frame tied back to the timber frame only for lateral restraint (because the timber frame settles and the steel frame doesn’t).
