The 4-storey apartment block project in Feltham, UK, undertaken by Syntec Projects, is a notable example of energy-efficient construction. Syntec, a specialist ICF (Insulating Concrete Formwork) contractor, was tasked with building a complex that includes a four-storey apartment block with fifteen apartments over basement parking and a terrace of four townhouses. The completed buildings were intended for handover to A2 Dominion, who would supply these units to the local Borough of Hounslow Council.
