Concrete House, Sussex, United Kingdom

Normally, DUO would be used to form smaller regular shaped structures as an efficient alternative to heavier systems. However, this project proved that the DUO system is capable of more. (Photo: seanpollock.com)
From the onset, the idea was to use DUO panels for horizontal and vertical applications to form slabs, columns and walls. The lightweight panels, the largest weighing no more than 25 kg, were ideal for the project due to its location and confined site space. (Photo: seanpollock.com)
Quite literally, the structure pushes the boundaries of a ‘simple square’, as it comprises irregular angles in addition to varying floor heights throughout. (Photo: seanpollock.com)

Project data

Location: Sussex, United Kingdom

  • One-storey house with exposed concrete finish throughout
  • Distinctive architecture that comprises irregular angles in addition to varying floor heights

Requirements

  • Controlling the balance between achieving the architect’s design requirements and ensuring that the arrangement of DUO shutters was compatible with the system’s limitations
  • Complex architecture with comprising irregular angles in addition to varying floor heights throughout
  • Exposed concrete finish throughout
  • High transport requirements and confined site space

Customer

Planer/Developer: Adrian Corrigall
Architect: RAW
Concrete supplier: CEMEX

Customer's benefit

  • Simplied construction process trough small size and leight weight of the panels and associated pieces of DUO
  • Enourmous reduction of the transport costs
  • Aligning with the projects developer's vision of reducing waste during construction trough usage of DUO which consists of 100% recyclable material and can be reused in the production of new panels

The project’s goal from the outset has been to simplify the construction process. By using DUO, we have been able to reduce our transport costs dramatically. Due to the size and weight of the panels and associated pieces of the system, standard delivery can be used. This has allowed transport vehicles to access the site easily and offload without causing traffic issues.”

PERI solution

  • Formwork and scaffolding solution individually adapted to the technical requirements
  • Project-specific coordinated implementation and logistics concept based on the system properties of the lightweight formwork DUO
  • Close cooperation between all parties involved
