Metal Yapi wins major facade package from Mace

Façade specialist Metal Yapi UK has secured its largest contract to date for Mace at the former Olympic Athlete’s Village site in Stratford.

The £180m East Village N06 scheme has been designed by architects Hawkins Brown.

It will see Metal Yapi UK deliver over 22,000 square metres of unitised façade, as well as balconies and sliding door systems to two residential towers of 26 and 31 storeys, and two ten storey pavilions.

N06 will be built by Mace on one of the last remaining development plots in the East Village neighbourhood and provide 524 new homes for private rent by Get Living.

Mace will start main construction work in December with Metal Yapi UK starting on site next September.

The firm has nearly finished its first project in the East Village neighbourhood for Mace.

Sister company, Metal Yapi Engineering, was also responsible for the design and manufacture of the ground-breaking rising factories which were used by Mace to construct the two towers at N08.

Metal Yapi UK is a subsidiary of long- established Turkey based Metal Yapi Holdings, which operates in 14 countries internationally and has delivered more than 1000 major façade projects in 64 cities worldwide.

Metal Yapi UK Managing Director Peter Walker said: ‘We are delighted to continue our successful partnership with Mace to deliver the East Village N06 project.

“Metal Yapi has, since entering the UK market, demonstrated its industry leading design and engineering capability with a series of ‘firsts’.

“The East Village N08 towers were the first in the UK to be delivered using the rising factory developed by Metal Yapi Engineering in conjunction with Mace; the N06 towers will be the first to use custom designed unitised façade installed into offsite modular build, and the steel and glass roof recently completed for Westfield at their White City mall development was the first ‘organic’ free form roof system delivered in the UK.”
