Ten Degrees, Croydon
CTBUH Engineering Excellence in Best Tall Buildings (100m-199m) and Best Tall Building Residential of Hotel 2022
The world’s tallest modular building, at time of construction. The development comprised a pair of 38-storey (115m) and 44-storey towers (135m) with two levels of below ground basement.
The 550-home development also includes winter gardens, an art gallery, an incubator hub for local businesses, an onsite cafe, gyms, club rooms and garden terraces. Barrett Mahony’s scheme involved challenging geotechnical design with a 10m basement dig on an existing piled site adjacent to TFL tram lines. The superstructure design required dynamic wind modelling and the design of the full height free standing slipform constructed RC cores to support CTL 650 tower cranes required to install the modular units.
