The New Model Building - A Research Initiative Piloting Post-Grenfell Holistic Design of Medium-Rise Residential Buildings in Timber

Research output: Chapter or section in a book/report/conference proceedingBook chapter

Abstract

In September 2023, Waugh Thistleton Architects published the New Model Building Guide. It demonstrates a pathway to realising safe medium-rise residential buildings with a timber superstructure which comply with the current UK building regulations. It represented the culmination of more than 2 years’ collaboration between a multi-disciplinary team of designers and stakeholders. The following chapter highlights the key points for design teams, and in particular structural engineers, to learn and implement from the initiative.
