Ashburton Court to Elizabeth II Court
|
|
|
Our first project to demonstrate the versatility and sustainability of concrete was the Bennetts Associates' design to transform Ashburton Court to Elizabeth II Court in Winchester, Hampshire.
|
|
|
The reinvention was made possible through the durability of the original concrete frame which was reused in the new building. The reuse of the concrete frame saved 50 per cent of the embodied energy required to construct a new building.
With adverts in the construction press, you may well have seen this project already. For more information visit the This is Concrete website at www.thisisconcrete.co.uk. The website features this and other case studies which illustrate the diverse uses of concrete.
