Lucent

Lucent W1 is a high profile mixed-use building comprising 111,000 sqft of CAT A

commercial space, 30,000 sqft of retail space and seven new residential units in West

London. The development is built with sustainability at its core, including a BREEAM

‘Excellent’ rating and pending Gold WELL accreditation.

The design of the building, behind the famous Piccadilly lights, meant that traditional

installation methods could not be used while maintaining the fire separation wall. This

constraint meant building could only commence from one side and required a new

solution. We designed bespoke wind posts and cut the boards to the exact angles

required so that they could be fitted from one side only. Combined with Specwall’s

inherent firestopping properties, this made us the perfect choice to solve the design

issues at Lucent W1.
