Once the tallest volumetric building in Europe, Apex House was constructed in a remarkable twelve month period
Apex House in Wembley sets the standard for high rise student housing design. Completing the redevelopment of an entire urban block using volumetric construction by Tide and HTA, the project was delivered from concept to completion in 30 months, with work on site completed in 12 months. The building contains 558 student rooms with shared living spaces, generous internal amenity space, a sheltered courtyard garden, and management and maintenance facilities. Its refined white Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) cladding accentuates the tower's verticality, featuring corners that highlight its symmetrical form when viewed from surrounding streets, effectively concealing the highly regular and repetitive accommodation within.
