Precast does the work a city centre hotel needs it to do: the elements arrive finished, go up in sequence, and take the wet trades and the drying time off the programme. What is cast in a factory is not being cast on a street that has to stay open.

The result is a frame built for a long service life in a dense setting, with the material used efficiently enough to matter on a building of this size.
