Our Approach

The project comprised the demolition of an existing, vacant office building for a purchase price of £5.9m. Jansons obtained consent for a 125,000 sq.ft. major mixed user scheme which led to the construction of a new 7 storey, Travelodge Hotel using a modular system developed by CIMC Modular Building Systems.

The Development

Due to its proximity to Heathrow airport, the erection of the hotel had to be co-ordinated with the Civil Aviation Authority and special acoustic measures were required to reduce the impact of aircraft noise.

At the time of its completion, the Travelodge at Heathrow was the largest modular hotel in the world.
