Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, with YMCA London South West, have developed an economical and innovative housing solution, which provides self-contained and affordable starter accommodation for young people unable to either gain a first step on the housing ladder or pay the high costs of private rent.

The Y:Cube units are 26m² one-bed studios, for single occupancy, that arrive on site as self-contained units. Each unit is constructed in the factory with all the services already incorporated. Therefore, the water, heating and electricity can be easily connected to existing facilities or to other Y:Cubes already on site. This 'plug and play' approach results in a modular, demountable system of apartments that are perfectly designed for brownfield sites. Additional units can be added if needed and whole developments can be taken apart and rebuilt in new locations. This modern method of construction makes for a neighbourly, clean and quiet site.

Each unit is constructed from high quality, eco-efficient materials (primarily renewable timber) and can achieve the Code for Sustainable Homes Level 6. The factory conditions in which the pods are assembled ensure tolerances of 2mm, creating accommodation that is so well insulated that they require little or no heating, even in winter months. This presents further valuable savings as the cost of energy rises.

Y:cube Mitcham is the first Y:Cube development, made up of 36-units and the first residents moved in to their homes in September 2015. Every resident is either referred by the London Borough of Merton or a previous resident of the YMCA. The Y:Cube provides an alternative to poor quality shared accommodation managed by private landlords and can offer a better solution for those in housing need within the community.

The rent is set at 65% of market rate and in addition to low energy bills the Y:Cube is genuinely affordable for those who live there. Y:Cube Housing offers a real opportunity for social investment, providing a solid return to investors whilst at the same time meeting a huge need.

Y:Cube fulfils a brief from YMCA London South West for a portable 'plug and play' housing system offering good quality affordable accommodation in self-contained units.

The concept is not designed to provide long term accommodation, but to act as a transition between temporary accommodation and market housing. The properties will be let by YMCA on assured short-hold tenancies at 65% of the market rent for a one bed flat in the area with an anticipated length of stay of 3 to 5 years.

Y:Cube Housing is a modular system using volumetric technology that enables the factory-made units to stack easily on top and/or alongside each other, making it completely adaptable to the size and space available and therefore perfect for tight urban sites, creating semi-permanent communities.

The Mitcham scheme consists of 36 self-contained one bed flats and a single unit community office. Each identical flat has a net area of 26m² containing a fully furnished living space with galley kitchen, separate bedroom and en-suite toilet and shower.

The units have 2.5m ceiling heights and full height glazing. The use of large windows allows a generous amount of natural light into the units and the walkways also act as balconies on upper levels. The combination of natural and bright colours creates a lively atmosphere within the internal courtyard, and a mixture of hard and soft landscaping creates external social areas encouraging community interaction.

As part of the design development process, a prototype was installed outside the Wimbledon headquarters of YMCA London Southwest in February 2014. This prototype was used as a communication tool to engage potential residents and stakeholders and attract investment to the project. Through feedback from a series of one week residencies, important lessons were learned about the accommodation which were fed back into the manufacture process.

Construction

The units are made using a volumetric timber system in a factory where tradesmen assemble and finish them by hand.

Lightweight timber panels with superior levels of insulation are used to create an air and water tight structure. Pre-glazing and cladding are also are also part of the factory process, which helps achieve high thermal and acoustic performances which exceed Code Level 4 for Sustainable Homes. The accommodation is so well insulated that it is estimated heating bills for residents will be reduced by up to 80% per annum.

Each completed unit is then delivered to site on the back of a lorry and lifted into place using cranes before being made ready for use through connection to mains water, gas and electricity. It is a quick and efficient

method of construction that requires no scaffolding or water on site, making it a quiet and neighbourly process. The total construction period on site in Mitcham was five months and the scheme has a design life of sixty years. It is also fully deployable system allowing for future relocation onto other sites.

Each unit is constructed from high quality, eco-efficient materials (primarily renewable timber) and can achieve Code Six for Sustainable Homes. The factory conditions in which the pods are assembled ensure tolerances of 2mm, creating accommodation that is so well insulated that they require little or no heating, even in winter months. This presents further valuable savings as the cost of energy rises.

Construction

PLACE/Ladywell takes advantage of volumetric, factory manufactured construction techniques to build high quality housing for Lewisham Council to a short programme and for reduced costs.

The units are manufactured from standard timber components using simple technologies and then fully fitted out with bathroom, kitchen, flooring and all finishes in the factory. This gives the manufacturer full control over quality, finish and programme as well as reducing construction time, waste and noise on site.

The 24 two bedroom apartments and four community/retail units were constructed in a factory as 64 fully fitted out units, before being transported by road to site and lifted into place. Balconies and lift/stair cores are also manufactured and installed on site as separate components.

Each unit takes approximately one month to be completed in the factory, and the team were able to install a full floor (16 units) in a single week. From preparatory ground works to practical completion the construction programme was nine months.

This off-site manufacture approach provides further advantages. The programme is significantly reduced resulting in lower construction costs, a key factor in the viability of the project for the council. Waste is minimised, and in addition to the use of timber as the primary construction material, the building is far more sustainable than a traditional building. It allows for greater client flexibility, creating spacious and affordable homes for its residents whilst addressing important social issues.

Planning permission for PLACE/Ladywell is until 2020 whilst a wider masterplan for the area is agreed and implemented. After this time, the scheme can be redeployed on other Council sites up to five times and with a design life of up to 60 years.
