Located within the vibrant King’s Cross redevelopment area, the S5 Cadence project forms part of the final phase of residential development within this landmark regeneration zone.

The scheme delivers 163 studio and one-bedroom apartments, split across two main buildings: a 15-storey east wing comprising a mix of affordable rented and private apartments, and an 11-storey west block with an additional 4-storey extension providing private residences.

Constructed by Laing O’Rourke using their DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) approach, the structure combines precast columns, hollowcore flooring, and Peikko DELTABEAM® Composite Beams to create a slim-floor, flat-soffit solution optimised for off-site assembly.

In total, 617 DELTABEAM® units were designed, manufactured, and supplied by Peikko UK, ensuring rapid and safe installation aligned with the off-site construction philosophy. The use of Peikko Column Shoes and Anchor Bolts enabled a prop-free erection sequence, enhancing both site safety and programme efficiency.

Peikko also collaborated closely with façade specialists Bryden Wood to coordinate fixing points within the beams for the brick-clad precast panels, ensuring seamless integration between the structural and architectural systems.

The result is a high-quality, precision-engineered residential scheme that demonstrates how Peikko’s hybrid frame solutions can help deliver modern, efficient, and sustainable urban housing in some of the UK’s most technically challenging sites.
