Steel modular build enables temporary park homes to become permanent living accommodation.

Brief

LGSF had supplied homes to a leading park and holiday lodge client in the past and was approached with a new brief; to create a next generation park home which would conform to permanent housing building regulations allowing residents to live on a park all year around.

Solution

LGSF designed and built, a two-storey home in pre-panelised 3D steel framing units. It was then transported by road, in two parts, to the client's factory for fitting. Inspired by Manhattan loft apartments, the home has cedar cladding and high spec contemporary touches including a full kitchen fit and spiral staircase.

Once fitted out, the home was then craned into place on the park. The ease and speed to erect the building meant siting the building only took one week. There was minimal disruption on the park and no construction delays as the building arrived fully completed only requiring final site connections.

The durability of the framing system was fundamental to achieving the building regulations and, thanks to LGSF steel framing system, The Loft is LABC (Local Authority Building Control) approved. This environmentally improved design also gained excellent U-values showing how highly energy efficient the new build is for owners.

Results

  • Durability of the steel frame build surpasses the requirements for park homes and is LABC approved

  • Excellent energy efficiency

  • Surpasses the requirements of a park home and can be used as permanent living accommodation

  • Volumetric 3D steel framing system supplied direct to the Park

  • Siting the building took only one week
