30 Duke Street, St James’s, Piccadilly, is a new 8-storey building which exemplifies materials re-use, whilst providing new high-quality workspace and retail units on the ground floor. The building is leading the way for a circular construction approach.
The project is the largest reclaimed steel initiative in the United Kingdom, the scheme’s eight-storey structure uses extensive repurposed steel, totalling 450 tonnes, and generates 744 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in savings.
17% of the used Portland stone is reclaimed directly from the existing building, with 33,645 kg of existing Portland stone reused, preventing almost 62,000 kg of new stone excavation. In addition, 3,600 kg of existing granite is recycled from the original structure, further reducing the project’s material footprint.
