The challenge: The project centred on converting the design from blockwork to drywall
This is the change that delivered weight, speed and performance benefits, but one that required the wall systems to be re-engineered to match. Across a four-tower programme combining a hotel and serviced residences, this demanded close coordination among many stakeholders — developer, hotel operator, consultants and contractors — to align specification, performance and programme across every tower.
The solution: Knauf partition, ceiling, lining and shaftwall systems to EN standards.
The systems delivered the acoustic performance essential to privacy in hotel rooms and serviced apartments, the fire performance required for compartmentation across 68 occupied floors, and the impact-resistance performance needed to withstand the wear of high-traffic hospitality corridors and shared spaces.
Sustainability Solution: Products contributing to a higher green-building rating, supported by clean-air and CDPH certifications.
