St James Theatre features 8 storeys of residential accommodation built over a 312 seat theatre auditorium that occupies a double basement. The development is on the site of the original Westminster Theatre in Victoria. A constrained site, requiring complicated engineering design at basement level. This site had two main in-ground constraints, a brick culverted sewer directly under the site and the future provision for Crossrail 2 tunnels at depth. Challenges to construction included a protected corridor for future Crossrail tunnels & sheet piling length restriction and the non-permissibility of deep load-bearing piles. Later changes in developer & contractor of the site meant a delay in construction, however, due to expertise, our designs were still used to complete the works.
Sustainability is in our DNA and we have our own ambitious goals to achieve Net Zero as a business and with our designs. With innovative in-house monitoring tools, Walsh clients have seen on average reductions of 10-20% total embodied carbon, with some of our flagship work achieving 60-70% reductions compared with baseline figures.
