5th Studio is an award-winning design practice based in the UK, with studios in London and Cambridge.

5th Studio’s work encompasses architecture, urbanism and landscape. We avoid specialism. We work in a studio setting which fosters a spirit of collaboration and a creative energy that are central to our work.

5th Studio is an innovative, can-do organisation ready to take on any challenge. We think big, while our work is grounded in the particular conditions of each project and site. We create designs and strategies that are radical, beautiful and sensitive.

Why make our built heritage sustainable?

“At present 45% of the UK’s energy is consumed heating air and water in existing buildings, and 85% of today’s buildings will form 70% of the building stock in 2050. If we are to get anywhere near meeting the CO2 emissions reduction targets (80% reduction in emissions relative to 1990 to be achieved by 2050), then all existing buildings will need a major retrofit to ensure the improved efficiency of energy use.”

Professor Michael Kelly. CSA to DCLG from 2006.

CONSERVATION PRINCIPLES POLICIES AND GUIDANCE FOR THE SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF THE HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT

MANAGING CHANGE TO SIGNIFICANT PLACES

Consider the effects on authenticity and integrity

91 Evidential value, historical values and some aesthetic values, especially artistic ones, are dependent upon a place retaining (to varying degrees) the actual fabric that has been handed down from the past; but authenticity lies in whatever most truthfully reflects and embodies the values attached to the place (Principle 4.3). It can therefore relate to, for example, design or function, as well as fabric. Design values, particularly those associated with landscapes or buildings, may be harmed by losses resulting from disaster or physical decay, or through ill-considered alteration or accretion. Design value may be recoverable through repair or restoration, but perhaps at the expense of some evidential value. Keeping a large machine, like a water mill or boat lift, in use, may require replacement and modification of structural or moving parts which could be retained if it ceased to operate, producing a tension between authenticity of fabric and function.

92 The decision as to which value should prevail if all cannot be fully sustained always requires a comprehensive understanding of the range and relative importance of the heritage values involved (guided by the assessment of significance: paragraphs 82-83), and what is necessary (and possible) to sustain each of them. Retaining the authenticity of a place is not always achieved by retaining as much of the existing fabric as is technically possible.

93 A desire to retain authenticity tends to suggest that any deliberate change to a significant place should be distinguishable, that is, its extent should be discernible through inspection. The degree of distinction that is appropriate must take account of the aesthetic values of the place. In repair and restoration, a subtle difference between new and existing, comparable to that often adopted in the presentation of damaged paintings, is more likely to retain the coherence of the whole than jarring contrast.

94 Integrity (literally, ‘wholeness, honesty’) can apply, for example, to a structural system, a design concept, the way materials or plants are used, the character of a place, artistic creation, or functionality. Decisions about recovering any aspect of integrity that has been compromised must, like authenticity, depend upon a comprehensive understanding of the values of the place, particularly the values of what might be lost in the process.

95 Every place is unique in its combination of heritage values, so, while it is technically possible to relocate some structures, their significance tends to be diminished by separation from their historic location. There are exceptions, for example public sculpture not significantly associated with its current site, or moving a structure back from an eroding cliff edge, thus recovering its intended relationship with the landform. Relocated structures may also acquire new values in a new location.

Garret Hostel Lane

SIGNIFICANCE • HIGH

General Overview

Garret Hostel Lane is a busy street, especially in summer when it is popular with visitors as a route to the river. Onlythe leg on the west bank is entirely car-free and is a pedestrian / cycle route; the east leg is a right of way used byvehicles for accessing and servicing the colleges.

All the buildings along the lane are used by either Trinity College or Trinity Hall.

View west along Garret Hostel Lane

Cambridge Historic Core Appraisal • June 2006 Garret Hostel Lane • page 1 of 4

A popular but narrow lane lined by colleges onthe east bank and cutting attractively across‘The Backs’ on the west bank of the Cam.

Garret Hostel Lane, althoughnot named, is evident on mapsfrom the 1592 onwards and'Garret Ostell Greene' appearson a map dated 1574. Today,

the lane is a popular route fortourists wandering down to theriver and students movingbetween the city centre andWest Cambridge.

To preserve and repair the existing fabric and, only where necessary, to renew or adjust this to accommodate fabric upgrade. Some of these rooms have four external walls and an insulated lining would be added to each of these. To maintain the existing arrangement and details, this would be installed across the full extent of each wall, allowing a reinstatement/like-for-like replacement of the existing cornice, picture rail (where present) and skirting details. Joinery pieces and the fireplace are to be refurbished and re-installed

Approach

A lining would be added to accommodate insulation to external walls only. A similar lining element would accommodate the main service risers to internal walls - as shown on plan.

Fitted furniture is envisaged as a distinct, subordinate, and removable timber intervention. This would be separate from the background wall/lining and it’s maximum height keyed to door surround height.

The existing sloped ceiling is to be lined-out to provide the additional insulation depth required - the junction detail between sloped ceiling and adjacent walls is to be maintained.

Table 4.1. Recommended strategy for each test case wall, based on simulation results.

4.3 Alternative breathable insulation types Pavadentro is being considered along with two other types of breathable insulation. Gutex Thermoroom is a wood-fibre based insulation, similar to Pavadentro but not incorporating a functional vapour control layer (although optionally it may be used with the Intello membrane). Gutex is available in similar thicknesses to Pavadentro. Its thermal performance is similar (see table 1.2). Another breathable insulation for consideration is Calsitherm calcium-silicate board. The properties of this board are also summarised in table 1.2.

Gutex and Calsitherm boards are compared against Pavadentro in a repeat simulation of Case 5. A 100mm thick Gutex board was compared to a 100mm Pavadentro board. Calsitherm is available only in a maximum thickness of 50mm, and so will be compared alongside the nearest equivalent thickness of Pavadentro – the 40mm thick board. The results are shown in figures 4.7 (a) to (f).

The comparison shows that Pavadentro is preferable because it is more effective at buffering down the higher peaks in interstitial relative humidity. This is likely to be due to its higher capacity for moisture uptake within the simulated RH range (see figure 4.6).

Calsitherm in fact has a very high saturation moisture content; although most of its moisture uptake appears to be in the range 95-100% RH. This indicates that Calsitherm’s optimum effectiveness is in the presence of liquid moisture at sites of interstitial condensation. For these conditions to occur, relative humidity would have to be well in excess of the 80% limit for mould growth. (It would be interesting to hear the manufacturers comments on this.)
