Cawston Park - low security mental care unit
Quad-Lock supplied the wall forms for The Lodge at Cawston Park, a project that has just been completed in Norfolk. Cawston Park is an independent mental health care hospital run by Chancellor Care Limited and The Lodge is the latest addition to their 100 acre site. It is a 14 bed unit of an innovative design by C & M Architects Limited, elliptical in plan, incorporating earth sheltered walls raised both internally and externally. It features a secure central garden with a glazed screen wall and a mono pitch radial sedum grass roof.
The floor area totals 1000 m² and the architect, Tom Ground said "We wanted to use a new sustainable Modern Method of Construction (MMC). Quad-Lock’s super insulative properties coupled with the good acoustic performance ensured that this building far exceeded Building Regulations and I was able to incorporate a very flexible design. The running costs will be considerably reduced for the unit and it is a fire resistant, healthy environment".
Quad-Lock’s MD Peter Townend says: "The system allowed a faster build with less plant needed and greater ability to build in all weather conditions, therefore reducing build time and saving on labour costs."
