THE PARTNERSHIP THAT CHANGES SKYLINES WEST ELEVEN AND JO COWEN ARCHITECTS PARTNER AGAIN TO DESIGN THE NEW GROUND-BREAKING

Archetech - Page 4

LANDMARK IN BATTERSEA

Jo Cowen Architects is renowned for its innovative approach to design. Since its last project with boutique property developer, West Eleven, which was an award winning success (Bakery Place), the two companies’ combined again to push design and creativity to the next level in their latest Landmark project, The View.

In typical West Eleven fashion, CEO and Founder Will Herrmann successfully bought and got planning permission on a site just off of Battersea Park, sticking to his ethos of unlocking value on the periphery of high value areas. The site originally had a planning brief of only nine units, but with the clever thinking, design and a compassion for the local community, West Eleven secured planning permission for a 15 storey, 39-unit development, which is set to change the skyline of Battersea Park and create a new landmark in the area.

Located on the opposite side of the park from the famous Battersea Power Station, on Prince of Wales Drive, West Eleven and Jo Cowen Associates have worked hard to create a development worthy of landmark status. Focusing on providing an uninterrupted view of the 200-acre park, the architects have ensured that all units face the park, with the lower levels containing commercial space of 1,500 sqm.

Every unit is designed to bring in light and cleverly use space to bring the outside into the home. The apartments also have communal access to an intricately devised roof garden, located on the 13th floor that showcases the amazing view of the park. The roof garden was designed by Chelsea Flower Show winner, Randle Siddeley.

The View is not only a skyline changer, but a new architectural landmark aimed to restore the sense of place and community. Built for a more sustainable future with an eye to longevity and efficiency, the stylish exterior façade fabric and glass vertical fins are framed by an external double storey pre-cast concrete structure, actively

performing to reduce solar gain to the façade. Bronze anodized aluminium panelling complement the fins, offering contrast and definition to this well-placed scheme.

Brise Soleil solar shading has been designed into the façade to reduce solar gains and overheating, whilst adding an elegant vail to protect views and prevent overlooking. The facades utilise high performance glass fin system that reduce G-Values across the glazed façade areas.

Green roofs slow the discharge of rainwater from the roof into the drainage system and a large attenuation tank under the landscaping ensures flooding doesn’t occur as a result of the development. Lush landscaping combined with quiet seating areas aim to create an oasis of calm in the city and an atmosphere of retreat for residents.

Soft planting in tall grasses and wild flowers will provide eco-friendly wildlife attractions and buffer hard elements to soften noise from Battersea Park Road.

Page 5 - Archetech

EVERY UNIT IS DESIGNED TO BRING IN LIGHT AND CLEVERLY USE SPACE TO BRING THE OUTSIDE INTO THE HOME.

The Harris Academy, a local co-educational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, situated next door, will also benefit from a new Sports England standard ‘4-Court’ Sports Hall facility worth £2.5m. This will be shared with the wider community, encouraging good sporting habits and healthy lifestyles. An additional £350,000 financial contribution to the academy will provide increased teaching space, general improvements and maintenance. Trees planted at the academy fronting on to Battersea Park Road will further enhance the environment. This is as part of West Eleven giving back to the local community and priding itself as being a listening developer.

Archetech - Page 6

The public will also benefit from over 50 metres of beautifully landscaped street frontage along this busy pedestrian route, creating a green space for all the community to enjoy, with space to walk, sit and play. They will also enjoy an enhanced pedestrian environment through the widening of pavements, with increased natural surveillance promoting enhanced safety and security in the area.

Chris Wilkinson, Lead Architect and Co-owner of Jo Cowen Architects comments, “As a practice, we always aspire to enhance and promote each site for its own merit, and The View does exactly that, through its relationship to the public realm, its carefully proportioned facades and its quality of interior space. Every apartment is designed to provide spectacular dual aspect views, promoting wellness in the home through high quality natural light and outlook. We are very much looking forward to seeing the scheme completed and experiencing the spectacular views that the scheme will provide.”

Will Herrmann, CEO and Founder of West Eleven adds, “Yet again myself and Jo Cowen Architects have pushed our creativity and bravery to its limits. We’ve gone tall, bigger, better and more community led. This is not only a landmark for the Battersea Park skyline, but a landmark in what West Eleven aims to achieve moving forwards.”

THIS IS NOT ONLY A LANDMARK FOR THE BATTERSEA PARK SKYLINE, BUT A LANDMARK IN WHAT WEST ELEVEN AIMS TO ACHIEVE MOVING FORWARDS

West Eleven believes in creating a lifestyle for its residents and because of this each resident will receive a two-year Car Club Membership, London Cycle Hire Scheme Membership, and Black Cab rides so that transport is covered, whatever your preference.

Ultimately, The View sets to provide its residents not only the thrilling view of Battersea Park, but The View of what luxury living in the heart of SW11 truly stands for. https://www.jocowenarchitects.com/ https://www.westelevenlimited.com/

Page 7 - Archetech

Thriving on its high connectivity, The View will be in close proximity to Battersea Park Station, where residents can take Southern Rail to catch various underground routes from London Victoria Station. Soho is reachable in 23 minutes via the Victoria line, while residents looking to commute into the City can do so from Waterloo Station, just a 15-minute journey away via South Eastern Railway.

The development is located near Queenstown Road Station and is also close to Clapham Junction, home to National Rail services and a number of bus services. A new Thames Clipper service has also begun from Battersea Power Station Pier, making travel by land and water easy. Finally, the Northern Line is due to launch in 2020, offering seamless routes into the City and beyond.

A HIGH-END GOLF CLUBHOUSE BY ARCHITECTURE49 Archetech - Page 10

THE NEW BUILDING BOASTS A MASSIVE WOODEN ROOF, WHOSE CLEAN LINES ECHO THE CURVE OF THE DRIVING RANGE. THE CLUBHOUSE DELIVERS AN EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR GOLFERS WHO APPRECIATE REFINEMENT AND HIGH-TECH FACILITIES.

Architecture49 is proud to unveil its latest project, the clubhouse for Golf Exécutif Montréal, located on Nuns’ Island, a green oasis in the St. Lawrence River facing downtown Montreal. The building, which boasts an impressive wooden framework, is designed to offer its users an exceptional experience. It includes sheltered driving-range tees, a bar in the centre of a spacious lounge, a full restaurant kitchen, state-of-the-art golf simulators, a pro shop, offices and mechanical spaces.

Initially engaged to design a sheltered area that would allow golfers to use the driving range in inclement weather, Architecture49 worked closely with the client to extend the program to the creation of a unique multi-functional building. In the clubhouse’s final form, the sheltered driving-range tees back onto the lounge and relaxation areas, creating a unique experience for golfers.

FUNCTION INSPIRES FORM

range, which is near the pro shop and a service counter for the

The clubhouse’s architectural signature is a direct response to the nature of the project. The building’s curve, echoing the driving range, harmonizes with the setting while meeting the needs of golfers working on their game. The exceptional size of the wooden roof’s cantilevers, dictated by the need to provide adequate shelter from the elements, also led to the creation of a contemplative space for golfers. The plan’s precision is evident in the clubhouse’s ample windows and distinct arrangement of materials: zinc, wood and glass.

FLUID MOVEMENT BETWEEN ZONES The building’s curvilinear layout is structured by traffic areas separating outdoor sporting activities and the clubhouse’s interior functions, which are arranged sequentially. The reception hall, on the west side, opens onto a sheltered outdoor space with views of downtown Montreal. Next is the first of two windowless service cores, with washrooms and two soundproofed rooms where members can work on their game using golf simulators.

The adjacent lounge is a large open space featuring a variety of seating types arranged around a central bar. After that comes the hall, which cuts across the building to provide access to the driving

open kitchen. Lastly, a second windowless service core houses the kitchen, administrative offices and mechanical rooms.

Designed to make the spaces as flexible as possible, the clubhouse is a gathering place suitable for many kinds of activities and events, both during and outside golf season.

UBIQUITOUS WOOD The roof’s span impresses by its size and the structural challenge it represents. The successful construction of the roof required precision design work to ensure a harmonious relationship between the structure’s exterior and interior proportions. The curves of both the roof and building, back and front, give the clubhouse a refined touch. The electro-mechanical elements are carefully integrated into the wooden structure, making them disappear and leaving the interior as minimalist as possible. Special care was taken to select VOC-free natural materials, hence the use of wood throughout the interior: walls and doors in maple paneling, walls in toasted wood, and furniture. Lastly, with the aim of showcasing local expertise and artisans, the architects made a point of selecting materials, suppliers and contractors from Montreal and elsewhere in Quebec.

ABOUT THE MONTREAL OFFICE OF ARCHITECTURE49 In 1955, six architects with strong personalities and a variety of backgrounds founded the firm of Affleck, Desbarats, Dimakopoulos, Lebensold, Michaud & Sise. For more than 30 years, starting in the 1970s, the firm operated as Arcop, an acronym for A rchitects in copartnership. Throughout its long history, the firm has had a strong influence on architecture in Quebec and across Canada.

In 2014, six architecture studios joined forces and pooled their expertise and complementary talents to create a single Canadawide firm, Architecture49. The new firm combines the experience

and reputation of Arcop, AE Consultants, North 46, PBK, Smith Carter and WHW Architects.

With more than 50 architects and technologists, the Montreal office of Architecture49 stands out for its extensive experience in managing large-and small-scale projects and executing complex projects, particularly in the rehabilitation and reconstruction of buildings. Its architects are known for their ability to promote architectural expression based on an innovative and timeless language.

The firm also has a significant number of new constructions to its credit and, as a generalist, is active in several sectors: public and cultural buildings, heritage buildings, shops, hotels and convention centres, sports facilities, etc. and offers services in architecture, urban design and interior design. www.a49montreal.com

LONDON HOTEL CONTINUES TO MAKE ROOMS MORE COMFORTABLE WITH SECONDARY GLAZING The Arch London is a magnificent boutique Hotel situated in one of the most distinctive of London districts, Marble Arch.

The hotel cleverly blends Georgian architecture and inspired contemporary touches.

It retains many of the original period features, but also incorporates some very contemporary designs with stunning artworks from rising British talents. RDD Interior Architectural Design finished this stunning refurb in 2009 and as part of the upgrade; Selectaglaze was consulted to enhance the hotel’s sound and ethical environment protocols.

Archetech - Page 14

Selectaglaze had previously installed 40 secondary glazing units to guestrooms and suites overlooking Great Cumberland Place utilising a combination of its Series 20 and Series 90 heavy duty vertical sliders. Once again, the hotel’s requirements were to improve the standards of energy and noise insulation, particularly to the suites at the front of the building.

The latest installation included Series 60 tilt-in vertical sliders fitted in rooms on the third and basement floors. This bespoke unit has tilt-in panels which is beneficial when windows have unequal pane sizes or if frames are needed to fit close together.

On the fifth floor, rooms were treated with the Series 10 2 pane horizontal sliding unit; a slim and versatile system that provides easy access for cleaning, as well as for ventilation.

All units were finished in white and matched to the existing frames. The new secondary glazing will now help lower energy

bills and afford the guests a good night sleep, in the heart of the metropolis.

Founded in 1966 and a Royal Warrant Holder since 2004, Selectaglaze has gained a reputation as a leading secondary glazing specialist, creating sensitive designs with low visual impact. Secondary glazing units are subject to rigorous third-party testing which has resulted in high level certification covering thermal, acoustic insulation and protection against forced entry.

LONDON COUNCIL CHOOSES WARMSHELL AND PH15 ENERGYEFFICIENT TIMBER FRAME SYSTEM FOR SOCIAL HOUSING The recently completed social housing project at Akerman Road for Lambeth Council, includes three new-build Passivhaus certified terrace houses, and six highly energy efficient retrofit flats within a locally listed building. The construction solutions and details were carried out by the 15-40 Architectural Collective.

Ensuring vapour open construction was a priority. Highly insulated houses must consider moisture management, moisture damage being the greatest risk factor to the building fabric. The new-build terraces were constructed using the PH15 Timber Frame System which uniquely offers a natural insulations solution to Passivhaus

projects, ensuring the building can ‘breathe’ and that moisture can escape externally through the structure.

With the PH15 Timber Frame System, products are used that are known to enable water vapour to escape externally – this includes Lime Green’s Warmshell render system applied directly to external wood fibre insulating boards. Lime Green renders are highly breathable and elastic, with low water absorption, which means they will provide a very durable finish and importantly have far less embodied energy than other render systems.

Photos: Paul Samuel White Photography

Lime Green Products offer approved installers to ensure their lime based products are applied correctly on site, important given that this is a natural product. Lime Green also provide excellent technical support and training. A wide variety of colours and finishes are possible.

The PH15 System is a part offsite solution developed specifically for Passivhaus standard levels of energy efficiency. The PH15 frame elements are all pre-cut offsite and individually coded - like a meccano set, rather than fully panellised. This is both an economic solution and avoids the need for heavy lifting equipment. The system can be delivered where there are limited or difficult access conditions. The PH15 shell relies on typical UK carpentry skills only, supported by onsite training and a technical help line.

Lime Green Products also manufacture a range of natural lime renders and insulation solutions for retrofit projects where moisture management is particularly critical. Their Warmshell internal insulation system addresses the common problems of damp and condensation, whilst also addressing heat loss and contributing to a healthier indoor environment.

PASSIVHAUS STATISTICS: TFA 371m², Form Factor 1.8, with U-values of roof 0.108 W/m2K, walls 0.105 W/m2K, floor 0.106 W/ m2K. Heating load 7.9W/m2. Predicted Heating demand 9.1 kWh/ m²a. Airtightness test results: 0.34, 0.39 and 0.4 ach@50Pa

LIVE IN THE NEW BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY MOVIE FILMING LOCATION Archetech - Page 20

The much loved 1930s landmark, Hornsey Town Hall, which has played host to a royalty of stars including Queen and the hit TV series The Crown, is being transformed into a new destination, featuring the refurbishment of the Town Hall and a collection of new homes.

This North London filming location has featured in many TV, film, theatre productions and TV adverts over the years, and has even been a gig venue. Hornsey Town Hall is featured in latest series of The Crown, Rupert the Bear - a new film out soon, The Samsung Christmas TV advert, Criminal Justice, Spooks, The Hour and Whitechapel TV series, and mostly famously the Bohemian Rhapsody film all about Freddie Mercury and Queen, which is due to be released this Autumn. Many years ago, Queen even played there before becoming famous on 19th February 1971, as a supporting band, when they were still called The Queen.

Combining history, culture and modern living, Hornsey Town Hall, the iconic Grade II* Listed former civic headquarters in the heart of Crouch End is undergoing meticulous restoration by leading international developer Far East Consortium, into a new desirable address. Built in 1935 to house Hornsey Borough Council, it is one of the earliest examples of modernist architecture in Britain. In its new life Hornsey Town Hall will provide an extremely rare opportunity to live in a new development, steeped in history, with many of the original features remaining untouched.

Perrycot Limestone, the design was well received and Uren was awarded the RIBA London Architecture Medal for 1935.

John Connolly, Head of UK Development at Far East Consortium, commented: “This represents an exciting opportunity to live in a building stepped in history, which has been captured in film forever. Despite its new incarnation we are committed to honour this iconic building’s distinguished legacy, we are creating homes here that blend Hornsey Town Hall’s history with modern living and excellent amenities.”

The halls modernist, bespoke architecture was pioneering at its time. Designed by New Zealander Reginald Harold Uren FRIBA (5 March 1906 – 17 February 1988), he worked in the United Kingdom for most of his career. In 1933, he won the architectural competition to design Hornsey Town Hall against a field of 281 entries. The town hall was his first major commission in Britain and one of the first large modernist designs constructed in the country, showing influences of Dutch and S wedish a rchitecture of the period. Internally he featured Australian Walnut woodwork and Indian Laurel timber, Ashburton Marble and

Making it ideal for Londoners seeking a new destination to live, work and play, Hornsey Town Hall will provide a wide range of community spaces, creating an exceptional lifestyle opportunity.

A new arts centre, which will be run by The Time + Space Co, will provide first class performance arts, co-working and flexible workspaces, restaurants and cafés, versatile event spaces. A new hotel, operated by Dorsett Hospitality International will be situated within the original Town Hall building and 135 new studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments will be situated in the grounds of the Town Hall.

Page 21 - Archetech

HIS REPRESENTS AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE IN A BUILDING STEPPED IN HISTORY, WHICH HAS BEEN CAPTURED IN FILM FOREVER.

Ranging from studio apartments to three bedrooms, the new homes will be finished to the highest specification, providing floor-to-ceiling windows, underfloor heating throughout and chevron timber flooring which has been designed in keeping with the original flooring in the Town Hall. Designer kitchens will include fully integrated appliances and state-of-the-art facilities. Bathrooms will feature chevron porcelain wall tiles, offering a contemporary take on Hornsey Town Hall’s modernist aesthetic.

The majority of apartments at Hornsey Town Hall will feature balconies, terraces or gardens. The balconies will be lined with detailed metal balustrades, opening up from either the living areas or master bedrooms, reflecting the Town Hall’s distinctive exterior.

Archetech - Page 22

Lining the square, cafés and restaurants will serve al fresco diners and local traders and stall owners will set up shop on market day, creating a vibrant, inclusive space for generations to come.

Crouch End is well connected to London and beyond. Stopping outside Town Hall Square, the W7 bus runs to Finsbury Park Underground Station, with connections into central London via the Victoria line, and National Rail services across the country.

UB SERVICES COMPLETES ITS 1000TH METER INSTALLATION OCTOBER 2018 Manchester based Energy Consultants UB Services has completed its 1000th meter installation with a further 2000 in the pipeline.

The company which was founded by brothers Paul and Andrew Fannon 20 years ago identified a need for a support service for the installation of gas and electric meters. This can be a cause of delays in the completion of a development which in turn results in additional costs to the developer.

Paul commented that “When meters are not fitted on time developers will inevitability miss completion deadlines and in addition to the financial implications, delays can also result in damage to a contractor’s reputation, third party interests and the loss of good will, losses which are not easily quantifiable”

The process to ensure meters are installed on time and to the correct legal specifications is time consuming and can be complicated. If it is a new installation the developer will have to arrange a Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN) for electricity and a Meter Point Reference Number (MPR) for gas, they will also need a Meter Operator Agreement (MOP). It is not possible to enter into a contact with an energy supplier until this process is completed. UB Services will complete this process and arrange dates and times on behalf of the developer to ensure metering is completed within agreed timeframes. This leaves the developer to concentrate on its bread and butter business.

UBS also works with major breweries such as Robinsons Brewery PLC (Stockport) Trust Inns and Marstons Brewery PLC.

To discuss how UBS can help you please contact Adam Regan or Paul Fannon on 0161 998 7138 paulfannon@ubservices.co.uk | adamregan@ubservices.co.uk

UB Services have secured metering requirements for medium and large developments for companies including, Herbert T Forrest Group, The High Street Group and Nobles Construction.

The company works closely with Finkernagel Ross architects on prestigious developments such as Tower Bridge, Centre Point and Canary Wharf. Other clients include Vapianos, The Japan Centre Group, City Pubs, GVA Architects, Freemont Construction, Criterion Asset Management and Berkley Construction.

JOSEPH ASH GALVANIZING: EXPERTS IN DUPLEX COATINGS EXPERTS Joseph Ash Galvanizing is a UK leader of steel finishing services including galvanizing, spin galvanizing, shot blasting, powder coating and duplex coatings services.

When it comes to corrosion protection, the company provides the highest standards of quality available and serves all types of customers from large construction companies and fabricators, to local authorities and architects.

Archetech - Page 30

One of the most effective ways to protect steel and enhance its aesthetic appeal, is by treating it with a duplex coating: a synergy of hot dip galvanizing and powder coating suitable for all types of steel architectural projects.

Used independently, a galvanized coating and a powder coat provides a good level of protection for steel. However, as steel begins to age, the galvanized zinc coating erodes, making the steel more susceptible to weather damage. If, however, the steel has also been painted or powder coated, the synergistic effect acts as an extra barrier, which slows down the zinc erosion rate and provides a far superior level of protection to extend the life of steel.

Duplex coating services are provided as a one-stop-shop service by the company’s Joseph Ash Medway plant, who provide a wide variety of durable finishes from metallic to textured, in a huge range of bright colours with varying matt, satin and gloss levels.

The additional benefits of a duplex coating are: durability; ease of repainting; economical; sustainable; environmentally friendly; and guaranteed for up to 40 years (dependent on the type of powder used).

If you’d like to know more, contact Joseph Ash Galvanizing on 01795 479489, visit their website at www.josephash.co.uk/ services/duplexcoatings, or email them at medwayinfo@ josephash.co.uk.

Colourful duplex coatings provide longevity for steel protection.

Guaranteed for up to 40 years (*subject to T&Cs).

Superior duplex coatings for steel Improve the appearance and prolong the life of steel with superior duplex coatings – a synergy of hot dip galvanizing and powder coating – from Joseph Ash Medway.

Replacement Balustrade

A great many character or period properties have stone balustrade incorporated into their design.

These balustrades make a large visual impact, but they also have a practical purpose as barriers and screens.

A common cause for the demise of a balustrade is the presence of water. Many original balustrades were made from artificial stonework such as Roman Cement, Concrete and Stucco. These were often reinforced with iron or mild steel bars which rust and expand when exposed to water over a long period.

Other balustrades were made of natural stone such as Portland Stone or Bath Stone. While these types of balustrade do not suffer from ‘blown’ reinforcing, they do have a finite life span and the surface of stonework will often delaminate or form powdery patches.

JPDA MAKES HISTORY WITH CERTIFICATION OF FIRST PASSIVE HOUSE BUILDING IN SOUTH ASIA JORDAN PARNASS DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE

The pioneering Passive House retrofit of a factory building in Sri Lanka creates a green economic catalyst and model for future sweatshop-free commercial buildings.

Jordan Parnass Digital Architecture (JPDA) has completed the first Certified Passive House project in South Asia, proving that ultra-high-performance efficiency standards are achievable for buildings in any climate.

The Star Innovation Center is a product development facility located near Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Intended to be a global model for the entire garment industry, the project sets a new high bar for sustainability, energy efficiency and worker comfort.

The project is one of only two certified Passive House factory buildings in the world, and annual energy consumption will be cut by over 75% compared to a conventionally “efficient” modern industrial building.

Careful design and engineering of the building systems and enclosure ensures that workers enjoy year-round comfort in a workspace that provides abundant natural light, low humidity, filtered fresh air, and maintains temperatures near a constant 24 °C (77 °F).

Thorough testing of the airtightness and remote monitoring of the ongoing energy usage provide quantitative confirmation

By choosing to renovate an obsolete building to Passive House standards, the project dramatically reduces the waste, carbon emissions and fossil fuels typically required for demolition and new construction, and promotes the client’s commitment to maintain high standards in social, environmental, ethical and safety compliance.

The Star Innovation Center is a pioneer in applying Passive House technology to a tropical monsoon climate, which features steady warm temperatures year-round but extremely high relative humidity. The majority of existing high performance buildings have been located in cool, Northern European-style climates where heating is the primary consideration.

cost savings for the client and vastly upgraded workplace environmental standards for the employees.

From the outset the agenda was to assemble an integrated project team including local architects, engineers, fabricators and builders to encourage technology transfer and demonstrate the feasibility

By promoting the project’s goals and inspiring the local building industry JPDA has sought to establish a clear path to both reducing global carbon emissions and putting an end to worker “sweatshop” conditions.

INTENDED TO BE A GLOBAL MODEL FOR THE ENTIRE GARMENT INDUSTRY, THE PROJECT SETS A NEW HIGH BAR FOR SUSTAINABILITY, ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND WORKER COMFORT.

Charles Komar, CEO of Star parent company Komar Brands expounds: “We are delighted with the comfort and performance of our Passive House building, and look forward to years of energy cost savings. Working with JPDA was a pleasure—Jordan and his team worked diligently to overcome challenges for the successful design and execution of the project.”

AGROB BUCHTAL TILES ARE CONVINCING GOURMET CHEF AND GUESTS

Many things have changed behind the decorative facade of the “Alte Mensa” in Göttingen. In close collaboration with the historic monuments protection authority and the municipal archaeology office, the building has been fundamentally renovated since the beginning of 2014. The basic objective was to restore the original shape and room layout. Wherever historically valuable basic structure appeared, it was to be preserved.

From 1922 to 2009, Germany’s first refectory was located there, which provided up to 2,000 students with meals on two floors every day. Since February 2016, conferences as well as festive and cultural events have taken place in the building. The Georg-AugustUniversity, which had the rooms renovated for 3.5 million euros, in this way responds to the increasing demand for bigger and flexibly usable facilities for conferences and events in the town centre of Göttingen.

NEW CATERING FOR THE “ALTE MENSA” The restaurant Augusta is intended for completing the conference building with a high-quality gastronomic variety and for reviving the Wilhelmsplatz located in front of it with an outdoor catering area.

The representatives of the university had talks with five interested candidates. They finally decided in favour of the star-rated gourmet chef Daniel Raub from Hotel and Restaurant Biewald at Friedland, who says: “I have been looking for a location in Göttingen for a long time. In the restaurant Augusta, I am having 80 seats now, 20 of them in the booth, and can offer plain German and French cooking there in a quite special ambience.“

Page 43 - Archetech

First used as potato storage cellar of Germany’s oldest refectory, then a jazz club, later a disco bar, and today the third business pillar of the star-rated gourmet chef Daniel Raub: the renovation of this 200 square metres large cellar vault required great sensitivity.

Architectural and engineering ingenuity went hand in hand with interior design aspects. The materials used not only had to be suitable for giving the historically valuable basic structure of the building the right setting, but also resistant to the extreme stress to which they are exposed in gastronomic establishments. That is why ceramic tiles of the brand Agrob Buchtal were used for the floor of the new restaurant Augusta in the “Alte Mensa” (old refectory) in Göttingen.

EXTENSIVE RENOVATION MEASURES A stairway leads down to a vaulted cellar, as it is quite typical of massive buildings in the town centre of Göttingen. Since 1974, it had no longer been used as potato storage cellar; it then became a jazz club, and later in the 1990s a disco bar.

In the course of the renovation measures for the restaurant Augusta, it turned out that the cellar ceilings of the building erected in 1825 were too low for the planned utilization.

That is why the pillars and exterior walls were re-founded and underpinned (1.5 metres) according to the plans of the engineering office Gockel, Baunatal. The insulation as well as the technical installations such as ventilation, electricity and water were arranged below ground, so that the room height could be increased by a total of 40 centimetres. Within the seven-month construction period, the cellar received a second entrance in addition.

Archetech - Page 44

FUNCTIONAL AESTHETICS The decisions concerning the interior were made by the tenant Daniel Raub himself. “As regards the floor covering, for example, it was important to me that all individual areas convey the impression of a unified whole“, the star-rated gourmet chef says. That is why it became apparent during the talks with the architect Tanja Gockel that ceramic tiles are the best solution.

With this ecologically and economically advantageous material it is possible to design the diverse zones as a visual ensemble despite their different utilization requirements. An example for this is the counter area, which directly adjoins the dining area but requires a quite different slip resistance. “Because there, liquids and other slippery media can get on the floor“, Gockel explains. At the same time, a solution had to be found which, on the one hand, harmonizes with the look and haptics of the historic masonry but, on the other hand, also is robust and hardwearing. One decided in favour of porcelain stoneware tiles of the series Valley of Agrob Buchtal. A harmonious visual impression is created not only by the authentic surface look with fine-grained structures or the chosen colour earth-brown, but also by natural raw materials such as coloured clay minerals and earths, which are used in the case of Valley. In addition, the series comprises a wide range of formats and slip-resistance categories, so that the request for the format of 75 x 75 centimetres in the rarely offered slip-resistance category R11/B for the counter area could be satisfied without impairing the visual consistency. In the dining area, on the other hand, the chosen large format with slip resistance R10/A perfectly corresponds with the cross and barrel vaults as well as the rubble wall.

TILES WITH IN-PLANT SURFACE UPGRADING Unglazed floor tiles like those used here are hard-wearing and stress-resistant by nature. These advantages are further improved by the “Protecta“ upgrading already applied in the factory. During the firing process, the coating is ceramically bonded to the biscuit and closes the existing “micropores“ quite typical of unglazed ceramics. In this way, the penetration of substances forming stains is effectively prevented, and a laborious subsequent impregnation is no longer required. This is also confirmed by Raub, who previously had subjected different floor coverings to a practical test: “I spilled wine or other liquids on them, and the tile was the only material with which I had no problem afterwards. That convinced me, because thanks to this quality it offers me aesthetics and functionality at the same time.“

And thus, the ceramic tile series Valley is to be found throughout the restaurant - from the dining and the counter area to the sanitary rooms. It brings visual calm in the overall concept and yet creates an attractive contrast to the plastered walls as well as the other elements of the interior design. In the sanitary rooms, Valley was combined with wall tiles of the series Pasado and the corresponding decorative tile Cuna from the same collection. With its irregular lines as well as its unique piece character, it also underlines the naturalness of the location.

SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE In the kitchen and storage rooms, Tanja Gockel decided in favour of the ceramic tile series Emotion Grip of Agrob Buchtal. “It’s amazing which creative scope this series offers me especially at the design of functional rooms. The kitchen is a workplace in which many aspects must be taken into account. With colours and surfaces matched to each other, different slip-resistance categories up to R12V4 as well as a wide range of formats including a mosaic in R10/B, Emotion Grip is the ideal collection for this“, the architect explains the reasons for her decision.

WESTIN HOODS: FROM THE COOKER HOOD SPECIALISTS Westin is the only British manufacturer of cooker hoods, based in Huddersfield and established in 1921.Cooker hoods are the only appliance Westin make so they are recognised as the cooker hood specialists, providing optimum extraction solutions for stylish kitchens, loved by designers and installers for its ‘white glove’ service and ‘can do’ attitude.

Archetech - Page 48

The Westin service is flexible and it works closely with designers, architects, developers and specifiers to achieve the most suitable cooker hood for every project. The requirements vary from project to project and the Westin process is consultative to ensure those requirements are met. Many cooker hood suppliers only offer a wide choice of standard products that have defined dimensions and specifications but as a manufacturer Westin can provide variations to dimensions and specifications and a complete bespoke design service.

In addition to working with individual kitchen designs, Westin has been involved in many contracts providing cost effective solutions, innovative hoods where ducting out is not possible, colour matched hoods, high performance hoods for long duct runs or powerful cookers and has yet to face an extraction issue that it cannot solve.

Westin is experienced in dealing with and delivering on higher end contracts and projects and has the flexibility to deliver in the quantities required direct to site.

Westin understand that these dates may change and can alter delivery dates and quantities at short notice providing the service these contracts require.

Westin is the cooker hood specialist and although extraction is important, as if it is ineffective it can ruin even the most amazing of kitchen design, many customers don’t consider it until it’s too late and their dream kitchen is full of smoke and odours. In addition, the power of motor, size of duct, length of duct run and the number of bends it has, in conjunction with the hood design are all factors which will affect performance.

As the specialist, Westin can be a safe pair of hands to guide you through the process and ensure the optimum solution is achieved for your customer in their kitchen with their cooker and cooking style.

To colour match the hood in the heart of your home or for your dream design or to request a standard product or contract quote, just ask us, Westin are here to help, just call the Westin Customer Service Team on the number below or e mail sales@westin.co.uk www.westin.co.uk 01484 421585 @westindesign

SCHLÜTER-SYSTEMS INTRODUCES STATEMENT DESIGNER SHELVING Released at Cersaie 2018 and offering new possibilities for the creation of stylish features on tiled walls, Schlüter®-SHELF is a welcome introduction to Schlüter-Systems’ range of solutions for tile and stone.

SHELF avoids the need to drill through finished coverings (and the waterproofing beneath) in pursuit of a shelving solution. Instead, products in the range are designed to coincide with grout lines, creating a more aesthetically pleasing and harmonious feel across an installation as well as preventing damage to its layers.

Three variants are available: • Corner (SHELF-E) – range includes options for standard or retrofit installation • Niche insert (SHELF-N) – sized to slot into the grout joints within a Schlüter niche • Conventional (SHELF-W) – with anchoring legs for embedding into adhesive The shelves feature the distinctive FLORAL and CURVE designs of the Schlüter®-KERDI-LINE-STYLE/-DRAIN-STYLE grates released at Cersaie 2017, allowing for co-ordination across the drainage and storage elements of a room design. They are available not only in a smart brushed stainless steel, but also in three of the most popular Schlüter®-TRENDLINE finishes – Ivory, Stone Grey and Dark Anthracite.

This new addition expands further upon Schlüter’s range of designer solutions for finishing and features. For more information, call 01530 813396, email pr@schluter.co.uk or visit www.schluter.co.uk.

SCHLÜTER-SYSTEMS RAISES THE BAR WITH NEW PEDESTAL SYSTEM

Archetech - Page 50

As part of its collection of releases for Cersaie 2018, Schlüter-Systems is pleased to announce the debut of SchlüterTROBA-LEVEL, a brand-new pedestal system for balconies and terraces.

A welcome addition to Schlüter’s range of balcony and terrace solutions, the seven-part system is the first loose-lay option to be offered by the company. It opens up a host of new project possibilities, whilst also being fully compatible with Schlüter’s other balcony and terrace solutions (including Schlüter-BARA edging profiles, Schlüter®-TROBA-LINE drainage channels and Schlüter®TROBA-PLUS and TROBA-PLUS-G sub-surface drainage membranes).

The TROBA-LEVEL system is stackable and can be combined to form heights between 3mm – 1000mm, making it adaptable to a wide range of project situations. Broadening the possibilities for flow and transitions between different landscape elements, the system can also accommodate a slope of up to 10%.

Manufactured in polyethylene and polypropylene, the TROBALEVEL system is also: • UV resistant • Recyclable • Durable (each pedestal supports >1000kg) • Temperature resistant (-40⁰C – +100⁰C) This new development adds extra depth to Schlüter-Systems’ range of exterior solutions for tile and stone. For more information, call 01530 813396, email pr@schluter.co.uk or visit www.schluter.co.uk.

STRENGTH TO STRENGTH FOR SCHLÜTER®-DILEX MOVEMENT JOINTS Schlüter®-DILEX is one of Schlüter-Systems’ longest-established product ranges, first entering the market in 1985. Since its launch, this collection of movement joints has developed a reputation for quality and reliability, becoming one of the product ranges most closely associated with the Schlüter brand.

Over its 30-year history, the DILEX range has expanded to include four different types of movement joint profile: • Connection – Joints placed in the screed and the covering at construction elements such as window openings, doorframes, shower trays and bath tubs • Perimeter – Joints placed in the screed and covering along walls and construction elements that penetrate the screed, such as columns • Structural – Joints required for static or engineering reasons, which divide a building into various movement segments • Intermediate – Joints that create a pattern of limited fields in large areas of screed and covering

NEW MOVEMENT JOINT DEVELOPMENTS AT CERSAIE 2018 Amongst the various announcements at Cersaie 2018 were two advances for the DILEX range: • New additions of Crème, Dark Anthracite, Joint Grey and Stone Grey add further depth to the range of colours available for the inserts of DILEX profiles. Bringing the total of options available to eight, the new insert colours allow customers to achieve even closer matches to their chosen tile or stone, making Schlüter’s already discreetly designed movement joints even more inconspicuous within an installation.

• The release of a cross connector insert for some of the most popular joints in the DILEX range – intermediate joint DILEX-KS and structural joints DILEX-KSBT20 & DILEX-KSBT30. This new item allows for neater and more uniform handling of the intersections between perpendicular movement joints.

Schlüter-Systems’ range of movement joints continues to go from strength to strength, offering an ever-increasing range of options to complement tile and stone. For more information, call 01530 813396, email pr@schluter.co.uk or visit www.schluter.co.uk.

Page 51 - Archetech

The DILEX range works in tandem with the Schlüter®-DITRA range of uncoupling membranes to provide a complete system solution for crack-free installations of tile and stone; whilst DILEX joints manage the interactions between fields of tile, the DITRA membranes are employed to dispel tension in the relationship between the covering and the substrate.

This results in all-encompassing protection for tile and stone installations.

DILEX movement joints are available in a variety of materials, including aluminium, anodised aluminium, two grades of stainless steel and PVC. 2017 saw the release of cove-shaped internal wall corner profile DILEX-AHK in three of the on-trend textured finishes of the Schlüter®-TRENDLINE range, allowing for greater visual flow from wall to floor.

EVOQ’S OTTAWA OFFICE CONTINUES ITS GROWTH Archetech - Page 54

EVOQ ARCHITECTURE

EVOQ Architecture is strengthening its presence in the National Capital area with the addition of longtime Ottawa resident, Jayant Gupta, Senior Architect OAA, OAQ, LEED AP, RAIC who joined EVOQ this spring after having worked alongside the company for three years on the West Block Rehabilitation Project.

Jayant brings extensive experience in leading project teams at all stages of design and construction. He has background in housing as well as cultural and institutional facilities. Jayant is a strong advocate for sustainable design and is a LEED Accredited Professional with the Canada Green Building Council. He has worked on four projects that have been certified LEED Silver or LEED Gold.

Jayant joins EVOQ Associate Jim Curtiss AIA, APT who has been with the firm since 2005 and was instrumental in establishing EVOQ’s Ottawa office. Jim has wide-ranging experience in architecture and architectural conservation. He has been an indispensable part of EVOQ’s most significant project in the area to date: the Rehabilitation of the West Block of Parliament, realized in joint venture with ARCOP/Architecture49. It will be the interim seat of the House of Commons when the Centre Block of Parliament closes for its own rehabilitation starting in December 2018.

Canadian media were recently given a rare glimpse of the project during a media tour animated by EVOQ’s own Georges Drolet who is one of the lead architects for the project and designed the spectacular glass roof structure built over the West Block courtyard.

Quote from Jim: “I have settled in Ottawa because this is an exciting time to be in this region of Ontario and Canada. There are many important projects coming and already underway here.

Together, Jayant and I have ambitious plans for expanding our office and team to continue to be significant players in Ottawa’s future.

I AM PROUD THAT WE ARE ABLE TO CONSISTENTLY CONTRIBUTE TO DESIGN SOLUTIONS OF REAL QUALITY AND VALUE WITHIN SENSITIVE AND COMPLEX CONTEXTS.

Quote from EVOQ Director and founding-partner Julia Gersovitz: “The delivery of the West Block Rehabilitation Project will mark a significant milestone for EVOQ. We have been instrumental in this project since 1995. One of the real challenges in a longterm project, such as the West Block, is achieving a coherent architectural vision that responds to the client’s goals. I am proud that we are able to consistently contribute to design solutions of real quality and value within sensitive and complex contexts.”

Archetech - Page 56

In addition to the West Block, EVOQ has been involved in numerous projects in the National Capital Region, including the awardwinning rehabilitation of the Wellington Building as the heritage architects, and numerous heritage studies of the buildings that make up the Parliamentary Precinct.

About EVOQ EVOQ is an award-winning architecture firm recognized for quality interventions and site sensitive design solutions. Our name, EVOQ, is also our conviction that architecture should be an expression of meaning. As contextual architects, we are always looking at the broader picture, respecting the history, culture and location of each project to inform our design process. Our purpose is to create a link between past, present and future with creativity

and nuance. The firm, formerly known as FGMDA, was first established in 1996, following the merger of two offices founded in 1983. In 2016, we incorporated and changed our name to EVOQ Architecture. We specialize in heritage conservation and Inuit and First Nations architecture, with additional expertise in residential and commercial projects and heritage planning.

AWARD-WINNING REGENERATION PROJECT INTEGRATES PRIMARY SCHOOL WITH LUXURY HOUSING Reynaers has unveiled an award-winning regeneration project that utilises a number of its aluminium systems to seamlessly integrate a primary school with high-quality homes for the community.

Telford Homes’ developments at Holy Trinity Primary School / Vibe in Dalston, London, has received a host of awards, including the London Sustainable Development Commission / GLA award at last year’s Housing Design Awards, the AJ Architecture Awards – School Project of the Year, New London Awards – Mixed-use and The Wharf Property Awards – Architectural Achievement.

Each award recognised that the project delivered substantial community benefit. Designed by architects Rock Townsend, and delivered by Stockwool Architects, outdoor facility areas were key to the successful integration of the primary school with housing on a small urban site. The development demonstrates a pragmatic approach to deliver much-needed additional school places and new homes in the capital. The delivery of the new primary school was funded through the sale of open market homes.

The exceptional design incorporates 101 private homes above the school, separated by an innovative double-height open-air play deck, with mature landscaping and classroom balconies to maximise outdoor amenity space. The residents benefit from luxury apartments and penthouses with a shared rooftop garden and private balconies.

A range of aluminium systems, fabricated by Aluminate and installed by B R Hodgson, were used by on the project, including Reynaers’ CW 50 Curtain wall, CS 77 windows and doors, CF 77 bifold doors and VISION 50 doors.

The multi-use scheme comprises a large two-form entry primary school and nursery on the lower three levels. A double height void

sits between the school and seven storeys of homes above, which creates space for a striking multi-use games area and playground.

The initial design maximises space and value, with places for 420 pupils. It was developed after numerous workshops with the school which established their design requirements, including the layouts, fixtures and finishes.

For more information about Reynaers’ innovative aluminium systems, email reynaersltd@reynaers.com or call +44 (0)121 421 1999 and see the website at www.reynaers.com.

Page 57 - Archetech

Rebecca Cope, Marketing Manager for Reynaers, said: “The external design includes clever use of brick, precast concrete and architectural glazing that refers to neighbouring developments which have also been built fairly recently. We are proud to have been involved in such an exciting development, which has been key to the regeneration of the wider area and contributes to creating a diverse new community in this part of thriving East London.”

This collection presents no less than five models and offers a choice of grained tones, including Dark Ebony, Bleached Oak and Zebrano in both Golden and Rouge. For designers and specifiers looking for a more geometric style, the Ex70 collection displays multiple grain directions intersected by a commanding jet black and curved groove.

The design involves substantially remodeling the internal layout of the building. The front elevation will be refurbished with a new slate tiled roof with 3 dormer windows to the new 5th floor and will match the new roof extensions along the street. We have extended the rear outrigger to match the profile of the extended outrigger next door and added new windows in the side and rear elevations. Existing features such as the tiled floor in the entrance hall and cornicing will be retained, or new to match as they are essential to the character of the existing building.

The original building was in a poor state of repair with 23 bedsits that had not been modernised for over 50 years. We rationalised the layouts of the each apartment, extending them where possible, using the greater ceiling heights in the front part of the building to our advantage to create raised bed decks over the shower and kitchen areas. In the rear outrigger we equalised the floor to floor heights, which created an additional story within the same volume. Our design also partially infills the lightwell, creating mezzanine sleeping areas to the 2 flats at basement level to the rear of the building.

AIRPORT HOTEL IS SOARING SUCCESS Up, up and away - GEZE UK has helped a stunning new airport hotel prepare for ‘take off’ with a range of products that have given it a real ‘wow factor’.

The Novotel London Heathrow Airport T1 T2 and T3 Hotel launched in March this year and has spacious modern interiors with a fluid configuration of public areas that make it suitable for travellers and other hotel customers.

Two sets of GEZE Manual Sliding Wall (MSW) systems – consisting of a total of nine glazed panels with two pass doors – were installed, incorporating natural patterns and forms from the air, sky and clouds. They present a showpiece room divider between bar and restaurant areas that allows the floorspace to be opened out or separated for different uses, such as private functions or breakfast service.

Archetech - Page 66

The first set of six panels has an overall screen size of 5010mm whilst the second has three panels and an overall screen size of 3294mm demonstrating the bespoke nature of the MSW system both are 2400mm in height. Each panel discretely locks into the next one via a floor locking device, which is completely hidden from view. A recessed roller track is fitted above to further enhance the sleek appearance whilst its SmartGuide system enhances functionality.

The hotel’s impressive entrance was created by a pair of automatic sliding doors, fitted with pocket screens for extra safety and powered by Slimdrive SL NT operators.

With a height of just 7cm – Slimdrive SL NTs are almost invisible, virtually silent in operation and can move leaf weights of up to 125kg. They are ideal for buildings with high levels of footfall and a continuous flow of people heading in and out of the building. The glazed doors were etched with spheres incorporating a ‘welcome’

and a Novotel logo. A fretted canopy was fitted over the exterior of the entrance.

Also fitted were 300 TS 2000 NV BC overhead door closers to bedrooms and public areas. These closers are suitable for doors with up to 1100 mm leaf widths and provide fire and smoke protection. They have an adjustable closing force which means that they can be balanced to reduce noise from guests entering or leaving their rooms.

GEZE UK worked on the project with owner and developer Nine Group, London-based Koncept Interior Design and architectural ironmongers Franchi Plc of Kent, from its early stages of development. GEZE had worked with the developer on a previous installation at Novotel Canary Wharf and it owners were sufficiently impressed to contact the company to work on this new hotel.

Andy Howland, Sales and Marketing Director for GEZE UK: “The full GEZE UK team collaborated closely on the project from sales and distribution to service and finance, they worked together to accommodate the particular requirements of the client, carrying out site visits and advising on issues surrounding our installations.

The outcome is a very impressive hotel which really raises the bar within the sector. It is a hotel with many fabulous features that clearly demonstrates that affordable luxury is achievable.”

The four-star hotel has 166 contemporary bedrooms all equipped with air conditioning. It includes a gym, library, events rooms, brasserie restaurant and rooftop bar overlooking the airport’s runway.

OLD PUMP HOUSE RETAINS INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE WITH THE HELP OF YEOMAN RAINGUARD Yeoman Rainguard rainwater systems were used to help reintroduce an industrial heritage style to The Old Pump House in Warton.

Originally erected in 1923 as a water pumping station for Atherstone and surrounding villages and decommissioned in the late 1980s, the pump house was then bought in the early 90s and after a scheme for a hotel development fell through was converted into a home. The property was then sold in 2015 to current owners Ian and Karen Callender. “Though the pump house had under gone a complete transformation into a residential property the previous owners, whilst carrying out the renovation to their own preferences, in our opinion designed out some of the industrial heritage. When we purchased the property, it was our intention to restore some of these features.� Ian explained.

Wanting to replace the white plastic gutters and downpipes at the front of the house with a rainwater system that would reflect such qualities, various avenues were searched. The result of which was Yeoman Rainguard whose XL Aluminium range ticked all the boxes when it came to style, ease of installation and durability whilst also being cost effective.

Yeoman Rainguard 130 x 100mm deep flow half round XL Aluminium gutters were installed giving real impact to the house frontage.100mm dia. downpipes were added below Cast Aluminium Motif Hoppers helping to further emphasise the desired effect.

Finished in a durable yet stylish black polyester powder coating the aluminium rainwater system will provide the house with 30 + years of maintenance free service.

TINTAGEL HOUSE

Archetech - Page 72

STANTON WILLIAMS + UNIVERSAL DESIGN STUDIO

Tintagel House, The Office Group (TOG)’s new flagship flexible workspace on Albert Embankment in Vauxhall, has opened following a major refurbishment by architects Stanton Williams and interior design by Universal Design Studio. Acquired by TOG in 2015 and their largest project to date, the building will offer 95,000 sq ft of serviced office and co-working space, and a wealth of communal spaces including a cafÊ, bar, gym, lounge and kitchens.

Built in 1960 and occupied by the Metropolitan Police for half a century, Tintagel House continues to stand out on Albert Embankment, an area that has changed dramatically over the past decades and, with the adjacent Nine Elms Development rapidly taking shape, will continue to do so. A new hub for entrepreneurs and independent businesses, Tintagel House will generate further diversity in the area and contribute to the energy and activity of the revived neighbourhood.

Stanton Williams has transformed the existing 12-storey office block into a flexible setting for a variety of work styles, creating affordable office space and ancillary supporting facilities.

The project adopts a sustainable approach, expanding and improving the existing office accommodation with the creation of generous communal spaces in the new extension at ground and first floor, as well as the conversion of the panoramic top floor.

The ground and first floors have been expanded to activate the frontage and engage both visually and physically with the public space around the building, to create an open and welcoming approach. This new extension allows for generous communal spaces where the building’s occupiers can come together, share facilities and interact with the wider community, a fundamental aspect in TOG’s approach to the provision of shared work space.

The larger floor plates are better suited to open-plan, flexible layouts and can be easily accommodated and reconfigured over time, future-proofing the building.

The existing top floor plant has been largely removed and the elegant ‘floating canopy’ roof has been converted as office space and a rooftop bar and terrace which makes the most of the prominent riverside location with spectacular views across to Westminster and up and down the River.

The relationship between the external open space and the interior of the building is mediated by the introduction of twostorey colonnades which give civic character to the previously introverted lower levels of Tintagel House, while at the same time creating a sense of enclosure and providing private amenity for building users in the form of external terraces along the riverside.

STANTON WILLIAMS HAS TRANSFORMED THE EXISTING 12-STOREY OFFICE BLOCK INTO A FLEXIBLE SETTING FOR A VARIETY OF WORK STYLES, CREATING AFFORDABLE OFFICE SPACE AND ANCILLARY SUPPORTING FACILITIES.

THE PROJECT ADOPTS A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH, EXPANDING AND IMPROVING THE EXISTING OFFICE ACCOMMODATION WITH THE CREATION OF GENEROUS COMMUNAL SPACES IN THE NEW EXTENSION AT GROUND AND FIRST FLOOR, AS WELL AS THE CONVERSION OF THE PANORAMIC TOP FLOOR. The material palette of facing brick and glazed tiles of the new façade references the original concept of the building, as well the site’s history of pottery and glazed ceramic production, most notably the presence of the Vauxhall Pottery, active in the area between the 17th and the 19th century.

ESCO FLOORING: Highest quality european oak flooring

SUSTAINABLE FLOORING SOLUTION POLISHED CONCRETE The Preparation Group’s division PPC, the largest surface preparation contractors in the UK, were approached by an engineering company looking for an environmentally friendly and low maintenance fast-track floor solution.

The company recommended polishing the newly installed power float concrete to a high gloss finish. Polished concrete is considered a good sustainable design flooring option because it makes use of the materials already present. Most modern buildings are built on a concrete slab; polishing the exposed concrete eliminates the energy and materials consumed by applying a floor covering, the composition of the concrete will dictate the finished result. It is something to consider when building or modernising towards a more “green” solution.

To prepare the 6000m2 area, Terrco® 3100 Grinding and Polishing machines were connected to dust extraction units and fitted with metal bonded diamonds to remove the top layer of laitance, exposing the aggregate beneath and rendering the area flat and smooth. The same machines were then fitted with resin bonded diamonds to polish the surface in stages, resulting in a high gloss ‘terrazzo type’ finish.

The Preparation Group provides services for refurbishing, removing, cleaning or polishing surfaces, through the manufacture, sale and hire of equipment, training courses on how to get the very best results or by carrying out contracting works anywhere in the UK.

DI LUSSO STOVES WHERE STYLE MEETS TECHNOLOGY The jewel in Hunter Stoves Group’s crown, the Di Lusso range, is simply stunning. With each stove expertly crafted in Cornwall, this is British stove engineering at its finest. Effortlessly combining contemporary styling with next-generation technology, this collection of wood burning stoves offers the best of both worlds.

Archetech - Page 78

CONTEMPORARY DESIGN FLAIR With a range of striking models to choose from, there’s a Di Lusso stove to suit any type of home. The inset stoves, with their sleek, angular lines, integrate seamlessly into the wall, creating an alluring focal point. The freestanding models make an equally stylish statement thanks to their beautifully clear viewing windows and elegant final touches. Whichever model you choose, you are guaranteed the romance of a real fire, without compromising on cutting-edge design flair.

FUTURE-PROOF FIREBOX TECHNOLOGY Inside a Di Lusso firebox lies forward-thinking technology that’s just as striking as the stove’s exquisite aesthetics. This range has ecoconscious combustion at its core. Through the recent development of brand-new Exact Air Delivery (EAD) flame technology, the newly-redesigned Di Lusso Eco models already comply with the stringent Ecodesign emission standards being enforced across Europe in 2022*. This cutting-edge EAD system has been expertly designed to ensure a more complete combustion of the fuel, thus increasing efficiency and reducing emissions. Targeted air streams are optimised to enter the firebox at the precise locations and in the correct ratios. This creates the required turbulence to correctly

mix oxygen with combustion gases, allowing for a cleaner, more complete burn.

An innovative Dual Baffle System works alongside this EAD technology to further improve combustion. It extends the circulation of flue gases inside the firebox, providing more time for these gases to mix with oxygen. Combine this system with a design that directs radiant heat back into the fire bed, and you’ve got a wood stove that has been fully optimised for an enviably clean and efficient burn.

CONTROL AT YOUR FINGERTIPS The Di Lusso’s state-of-the-art dynamic control system gives users complete power over the heat output. Cleverly hidden behind an integrated door handle, this patented system allows you to increase or decrease the stove’s burn with just the turn of a dial.

An exquisite blend of style, eco-friendly technology and innovative fingertip control, the Di Lusso is a true trailblazer in the stove industry.

To see the full Di Lusso range, and to find your nearest retailer, please visit hunterstoves.co.uk. *Di Lusso Eco range launching December 2018.

TRAILBLAZER

A STATEMENT OF EFFICIENCY, INNOVATION AND STYLE. The iconic Di Lusso stove range brings you all the warmth that only a real fire can.

Delivering uncompromising efficiency, an impressive range of bespoke finishes and patented finger-tip heat control, the Di Lusso is the perfect stove to make a statement.

RINNAI: THE 1200I CONTINUOUS FLOW HOT WATER HEATING UNIT - FOR EVERY COMMERCIAL SITE

Now available from Rinnai UK, manufacturers of the world’s leading continuous flow gas-fired hot water heater units and systems, is the HDC 1200i continuous model for use on all high demand commercial sites. It is capable of delivering in excess of 1560 litres per hour. It guarantees unparalleled levels of efficiency and hot water delivery for the end user whilst streamlining installations and guaranteeing future regulatory compliance.

This precision engineered water heating unit can also be combined as multiple units into one single, easy to handle module incorporating cascade frames and common flue. Both the HDC 1200 internal and external models turn in a market leading energy performance of 107% net efficiency and offer superlative ranges of modulation as the systems internal analytical system can modulate the burner modulation range from 54kw to 2.4kw. The Rinnai HDC 1200i is engineered for minimal energy wastage and maximum energy performance.

It is worth remembering that Part L of the Building Regulations 2013 has set minimum thermal efficiency levels of 90% for natural and 92% for LPG, consequently outlawing non-condensing gas fired water heaters for use in new build projects.

Rinnai is the only manufacturer that can supply a complete range of internal and external ultra-high efficiency condensing continuous flow water heaters, aligned not only to comply but surpass changes on the regulatory horizon.

Rinnai units and systems are now the number one choice for large buildings and businesses with a heavy demand for constant hot water or where high peaks of demand occur at certain times. Any number of modules can be manifolded, so the water handling capacity is truly infinite and there is no risk of the ‘cascade’ of hot water ever running out.

The manifolded 1200i units can be delivered direct to site in one complete, easy to manage package and at a very

competitive price. For the end user this guarantees considerable cost savings over other forms of hot water generation. The relatively compact footprint of all Rinnai units and systems means it can optimise plant room space and safeguard accessibility for maintenance and servicing.

There is huge potential for on-demand style water heaters such as the Rinnai HDC 1200i units to play their part in new build and in refurbishments projects alike, where in the latter there are still many old systems that need replacing. By replacing this older technology with new condensing appliances will help support the UK drive towards greener industry.

The Rinnai Infinity HDC 1200i water heater uses heat exchanger technology to allow the largest capacity flow rates, thereby guaranteeing all the hot water needed, when it is needed. As well as increasing capacity, the Rinnai Infinity water heater has lower greenhouse emissions because of the new reduced NoX burner technology and as there is no storage, this scores well with BREEAM. Available in both internal and external versions, HDC 1200i gives end users 105.5% net efficiency as the condensing process delivers up to 95% thermal efficiency, translating into significant energy savings when compared to standard tankless water heaters.

With a continuous flow water heating unit, it will deliver limitless amounts of useable hot water, whatever the site - school, hospital, hotel, office blocks, leisure club etc with no fluctuations in water delivery temperature.

The only time the site uses energy to heat water is when there is a demand, in other words, it is only burning gas when a tap or shower is being run.

SCHIEDEL: EXPERIENCE AND INNOVATION Real fires are as popular as ever, but with increasing demands on energy efficiency, picking the right solution can be challenging.

Schiedel’s Davinder Sangha introduces a range of products designed with efficiency and safety at their heart.

For most renovation projects, Schiedel recommends chimney liners that can effectively give old neglected chimneys a new lease of life.

Most commonly made of stainless steel, they and can be single or double skinned depending on the fuel being burned. Our Tecnoflex Plus is double skinned flue suitable for multi-fuel, gas and oil appliances. It is particularly flexible, durable and easy to maintain making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

For more sensitive projects, such as timber buildings or those with thatched roofs - where there’s an increased risk of fire - Schiedel’s Isokern system is first-rate option. The flue components are made from natural pumice which has excellent insulating properties.

As well as being particularly efficient the exceptional insulating qualities of pumice also ensure reduced heat transference, cutting the risk of combustion in nearby flammable materials. Isokern comes as a series of pre-formed easy- to handle, stackable blocks, making it a practical solution when time and space is tight.

Wood burning stoves beat open grates in terms of efficiency, but recent technologies have been developed to ensure that even an open fire can form part of an efficient heating system. Schiedel’s Magnum Firechest is one such product, designed to maximize the burning efficiency of wood. Like the Isokern flue, it is made of pumice, and offers the same superior insulating characteristics. The specially shaped fire chamber facilitates the burning of logs to give efficiencies from 41% to 45%.

Archetech - Page 82

In renovating older properties, one of the biggest difficulties can be preserving original features while adhering to modern safety standards but technological developments provide accessible solutions. These solutions can be used to advantage in modern homes too. In new builds, which are subject to SAP calculations, open fires are still be an option. As long as a flue damper is installed to close off the chimney when the fire’s not in use, excessive heat loss can be avoided and building regulations met.

Whatever the job, Schiedel is able to help with a comprehensive range of products. With 70 years of experience to hand, we are also able to provide a wealth of information to help you make the right choice. http://www.schiedel.co.uk

MARKET SURVEY SHOWS RINNAI TOPS FOR QUALITY PRODUCT IN CONTINUOUS FLOW WATER HEATING

Plumbing and heating engineers have reviewed and rated Rinnai continuous flow units and systems as a leader in a recent survey into hot water heating delivery systems and products, identifying the company as having ‘superior quality’ to competitor products.

The survey showed respondents - all Gas Safe registered engineers answered questions regarding overall satisfaction, brand awareness and product quality. Rinnai came top on product quality - and technical service, in particular.

Over 70% of those surveyed stated they were regular customers and identified ‘strongly’ that ‘quality of products’ and no ‘call backs to site’ as being the main reasons for their views.

Over 65% of respondents said that the quality of Rinnai’s product offering is ‘superior’ to the claimed market leaders with a further 85% indicating that the brand, including all elements of product range, reliability, innovation and customer service, is a genuine market leader.

Rinnai units and systems are now the number one choice for large buildings and businesses with a heavy demand for constant hot water or where high peaks of demand occur at certain times.

The water handling capacity is infinite as units can be installed to ‘cascade’.

The benefits for the end user are big savings on fuel over other forms of water heating solutions, with the added advantage that

there is no need to give up valuable space to install a cylinder. And there are no standing losses to account for as occur with traditional stored hot water systems.

The Rinnai system produces useable hot water on demand, at the turn of a tap or the push of a shower button. The relatively compact footprint of the units also means they can be housed in tight spaces and still be easily accessible for maintenance and servicing.

According to Rinnai’s Chris Goggin: “We believe our range represents the best value-for-money commercial hot water solution on the market today, and it can be delivered direct to site in one complete, easy to manage package. Its impressive energy performance ratings also make it a highly desirable development at a time when everybody is looking at decreasing energy bills and maximising energy efficiency.”

The condensing process delivers 95% thermal efficiency, which translates to significant energy savings when compared to standard on-demand water heaters. Rinnai’s high efficiency condensing range of continuous flow water heaters, including the HDC1500 with its 96-97% gross efficiency, covers a vast number of requirements.

Rinnai condensing continuous flow water heaters are low NoX, less than 50mg with gross efficiencies of 96-97% and recovery of 740 litres per hour at 50° Delta. All units are A rated on ErP. For more details on RINNAI products visit www.rinnaiuk.com

NEW LUBBESTHORPE PRIMARY SCHOOL DESIGN PLANS REVEALED PLANS for a brand new primary school have been revealed by GSS Architecture and Couch Perry Wilkes (CPW) following works starting on site.

New Lubbesthorpe Primary School will be located within the new community of Lubbesthorpe, near Blaby, Leicestershire. The 420-place primary school is the first of three schools – a mix of two primary and one secondary school – to be unveiled to meet the needs of the 4,250-home development.

The designs, developed by GSS Architecture, are based on a green philosophy as the buildings reflect the master planning scheme which encourages green spaces. The outside is also brought in with a focus on natural light and playful colours inside the building.

Tom Jagger, associate at GSS Architecture, said: “There were many different factors to consider when designing New Lubbesthorpe Primary School especially as the school will inform the style of the future community buildings on the development.

Archetech - Page 86

“The masterplan is also centred, aside from creating a green, ecofriendly site, on forming an open square for the village that will be a central spot that responds to the surrounding site and offers a sense of community in the budding development.”

The school building comprises largely of single storey accommodation which will include 14 classrooms, a learning resources centre, hall, kitchen, staff room, a studio and specialised room and the reception along with plenty of circulating space.

Tom added: “The internal space of the school is key to the education, focus and safety of the children so bright, clean and spacious areas were key to the design. There will be a simple layout allowing for natural light and ventilation and a central corridor with naturally lit break-out spaces between classrooms.”

CPW, a national M&E engineering consultancy with extensive experience in the education sector, was brought on board by the architecture firm to support with the mechanical and electrical assessment on the project.

Matt Wrate, director and head of the CPW Leicester office, said: “As the consultants for the electrics, heating and lighting and ventilation of the project we worked hard to adopt both passive and active measures to provide a comfortable, vibrant environment conducive to productive learning and working at all times.

“We want to achieve a BREEAM rating of good so there is good daylighting throughout the school and the electrical lighting has been thoughtfully designed with the use of low energy LED luminaires throughout. Similarly, the mechanical services solution reliably provides a suitable environment while minimising energy consumption - this is in keeping with the green philosophy of the project.”

The design team also includes the project manager and quantity surveyor, Bentley Project Management, Rodgers Leask, the structural engineers, and Secured by Design which provided guidance on the overall project.

George Orange, project manager at Bentley Project Management, said: “We are excited to have been involved with delivering this innovative project from the outset. It has been great to work with such an energetic team with great ideas, with the best interests of the client at the forefront.

ONE OAK 3&4 B2 ASKDECO ADDS WARMTH AND COLOUR TO INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

With a global portfolio of completed projects including luxurious homes, private yachts and commercial environments, Askdeco, a full-service design firm based in Lebanon, is proud to showcase its One Oak 3&4 B2 residential project in the dynamic heart of downtown Beirut, a city home to world-renowned fashion designers, art galleries, performing arts venues and trendy bistros and cafés.

Archetech - Page 88

“One Oak 3&4 B2 is a 700m² modern family duplex owned by a young couple with a baby,” says Nisrine Nasr, co-founder and interior designer at Askdeco. “When we first met with the client, their vision was of an industrial style of home but, over the course of the project, that idea collaboratively evolved into a vision of a more refined and livable space.”

EMBRACING HUMAN NATURE With more than 17 years of interior design behind the firm, Askdeco has worked with clients of all ages and multicultural backgrounds, from couples and young families, to single individuals. Experts in creativity and knowledgeable about different eras, styles, fabrics and spatial relationships, the firm recognizes that the art and science of understanding human behavior is the key to creating optimally functional spaces for their clients.

“Our clients often come to us armed with ideas to spur the design process, but they are not really sure of what they ultimately want,” says Nasr. “Once we work things out on paper, devise plans and provide them with 3D views, it gives life to a vision of what they can actually have in their home.”

“By encouraging a client to become engaged in the decisionmaking process, it develops a very pleasant and functional working relationship,” explains Nasr. “Additionally, it ensures that time is well managed and, consequently, that the client’s financial resources are well spent.”

INFUSING WARMTH In the case of One Oak 3&4 B2, the process began with Askdeco presenting the client with plans for an industrial feel with a luxurious twist. In making their case, Askdeco was able to create two parallel 3D models of the space, presenting both the client’s original vision and the firm’s altered vision. Earth colors, concrete textured walls, gunmetal finishes, Mediterranean grey marble flooring and brown wood bring the industrial design elements into play. While maintaining the industrial elements embraced by the client, Askdeco infused a cozier design into its core, substituting wood and metal in some instances to produce a homier effect.

The 3D modelling provided the client with a better understanding of the designer’s proposed vision, which they eagerly embraced.

HOME SWEET HOME With breathtaking vistas overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and ancient Roman ruins on one side, and the vibrancy of downtown Beirut’s colourful streets on the other, One Oak 3&4 B2 succeeds in achieving a harmonious balance between the muted and monotone colour palettes of hard architecture and random bursts of vibrant colour. Carefully selected works of art, eclectic furniture and unique accessories add life to the space’s industrial design elements, and to the modern furnishings selected from Askdeco’s repertoire of international brand suppliers.

Page 89 - Archetech

WITH MORE THAN 17 YEARS OF INTERIOR DESIGN BEHIND THE FIRM, ASKDECO HAS WORKED WITH CLIENTS OF ALL AGES AND MULTICULTURAL BACKGROUNDS, FROM COUPLES AND YOUNG FAMILIES, TO SINGLE INDIVIDUALS.

The space was divided into two very distinct atmospheres, including a public space on the upper level and a more private space on the lower floor. One Oak 3&4 B2’s upper floor is designed for fun and relaxation, reflecting the client’s lifestyle, with a reception area capable of hosting gatherings away from the bedroom areas. The upper level features a cigar lounge, a bar and an activity room, with the latter featuring a high-end Toulet billiard table and contemporary football table designed

by Teckell.

Connecting the two levels, a magnificent cage-like spiral staircase serves as a transition, descending to a decidedly more intimate space featuring bedrooms designed with Flou bedding, a contemporary Alno kitchen and a family living room featuring comforts such as a Minotti sofa and Poltrona Frau daybed.

The space’s lower level also features a main bathroom that is far from ordinary, with Palazzani glass bathtub Avi and freestanding Fantini bathtub mixer that serve as the centerpiece of an ambiance designed for total relaxation.

Archetech - Page 90

“Well-designed spaces function effortlessly and enhance the quality of life of those who occupy them,” explains Nasr. “Our firm has worked on numerous commercial projects, but the added reward of seeing people feel truly at home in their newly designed space makes working for private clients very special.”

OUR FIRM HAS WORKED ON NUMEROUS COMMERCIAL PROJECTS, BUT THE ADDED REWARD OF SEEING PEOPLE FEEL TRULY AT HOME IN THEIR NEWLY DESIGNED SPACE MAKES WORKING FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS VERY SPECIAL.

ABOUT ASKDECO Over the past 17 years, Askdeco has evolved from a boutique agency into a full-service interior design firm servicing a discerning, international clientele. Pioneers of bespoke design, Askdeco’s reputation for delivering unparalleled results has earned the firm global attention. From luxurious homes, to private yachts and commercial environments, Askdeco is a turnkey design firm that attends to even the smallest of details, including assisting clients in choosing artwork, dinnerware and table accessories.

Following years of visiting European trade fairs and building strong relationships with some of Europe’s top furniture brands we have developed a wide selection of contemporary designer furniture ranging from mid to high end prices. Company owner Karen Bucceri had spent many years developing businesses both in the UK and Italy so her expertise combined with a love of all things interiors was the perfect match to create Trendy Products.

Based in Italy Karen is right on the forefront of the latest trends from Italian brands and frequently visits neighbouring countries in Europe to find the newest luxury designs to bring to the UK.

The really special feature of the showroom is the digital concept.

With over 10 years’ experience of working in the digital world of retail, we wanted to bring this into our new home and give our customers the opportunity to shop our website directly from the showroom using large screens, tablets and digital advertising.

Whether our customers want to browse the website in the showroom independently in our website experience area or take a seat on our fantastic bestselling Fama Spanish sofa, with the guided help of the team to shop the website on our big screen TV’s we’ve got the digital side covered.

It’s not just a place where you come to shop but where you can sit down, have a glass of wine and go through one of our many designer furniture catalogues. We want to provide a lifestyle experience to our customers and invite them to come in, talk to our friendly team and enjoy the furniture as they would do if it was in their own home.

When we reached our 10-year anniversary we decided it was time to do something a bit different and find out what Trendy Products was missing. We know that not all our customers like to shop purely online from the feedback we received, so the natural next step was to open a furniture showroom - somewhere to showcase our designer furniture brands and let our customers feel and touch the products we love so much. We noticed that within our home town of Cardiff there was a limited supply of furniture showrooms that sold furniture like ours, we started as mainly Italian designer based with a big focus on high gloss and crisp style but have developed into so much more covering many contemporary styles within the high-end furniture market.

Archetech - Page 92

We really wanted to make our showroom different and provide our customers with the experience we want for ourselves when shopping for furniture. We chose the destination of Cardiff Bay to appeal to customers coming from over the Severn Bridge down the M4, as well as clients from the Vale of Glamorgan and more locally in Cardiff. The 5-minute distance from the St David’s hotel and beautiful views from the full width windows in the showroom all add to the experience. We also based our head office right within the showroom so our customers can not only have the great experience of talking to our sales team but also get to meet everyone working behind the scenes making the website, showroom and logistics happen. We really drive team spirit within Trendy Products and everyone within the team shares the same passions to deliver great furniture and a great customer experience.

We know that having a website with 10,000 products can sometimes be tricky to navigate and find exactly what you’re looking for, so we have showcased some of our bestselling furniture pieces in the showroom. However, you can also shop our full range by using either the digital concept shopping experience or sitting with the team to go through the catalogues.

Our team have all been individually trained to know everything about our products, from the material and quality to finding what you will love out of the 10,000 items we have on our website. With over 70 brands ranging from living room, dining room, home office, bedroom and everything else in between its so easy to create the complete Trendy Products look in your home. www.trendy-products.co.uk 0345 299 4211 enquiries@trendyproducts.co.uk Unit 4, Havannah Street Cardiff CF23 7FD Opening hours 9.00am – 5.30pm Monday – Friday 10.00am – 5.00pm – Saturday

THE SMART CHOICE FOR ELECTRIC HEATING – ECOSAVE DYNAMIC ELECTRIC HEATERS On the 1st January 2018, a new regulation affecting “the ecodesign requirements for local space heaters” was implemented. This derives from an EU Commission Regulation transposed into UK Law under the Energy Related Products Regulations (ERP). This new regulation is often referred to as ‘LOT 20’ and requires any new local space heating system installed from this date onwards to be compliant with set energy efficiency standards.

Archetech - Page 94

The aim of LOT 20 is to reduce the energy consumption in our homes through accurate management and control of electric heating appliances and minimise wasted energy. To meet the objectives of LOT 20, better use of intelligent timers, controls and sensors must be made.

The Ecosave Dynamic Heater has been LOT 20 compliant since January 2016 and has been designed to meet the heating demands of modern smart properties. This range of smart electric heaters are styled to blend with any décor and include the latest innovations to enhance heating comfort and lower energy usage. The ecoSave Dynamic Electric Heaters are suitable as a heating solution for apartments, domestic dwellings, holiday homes and offices.

The Heating Elements and High Performance Heating Oil are housed within the sturdy aluminium body of the heater making

the ecoSave an efficient oil filled radiator. Due to the modular construction and air flow outlets at the top of the heater these aluminium electric heaters benefit from fast heat up times and provides an even surface temperature with optimum convection through all heating cycles.

The easy-to-use digital programmable thermostat is located at the top of the heater enabling simple manual control of the heater.

It will accurately control both Time and Temperature, is fully Programmable 24/7 and offers comfort, economy, frost protection and on/off settings.

To convert the Smart Home Wi-Fi ready Ecosave Heater to an intelligent appliance that can be controlled anywhere, anytime the consumer simply has to install the EHC SmartHome Wi-Fi kit. The Ecosave Heater combined with the SmartHome Wi-Fi kit are also ideal for Hotels, Student Accommodation and Properties for Let as all the Heaters can be fully controlled remotely. The APP can control up to 30 Heaters from a single Gateway which is easy to install.

For further information on the ecoSave Dynamic Electric Heater range and how they could be suitable for your needs please contact EHC on 01698 820533 or visit our website at www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk

NEW ROOF TERRACE IN SHOREDITCH ATTRACTS TENANTS FOR STATE-OFTHE-ART OFFICES GPAD LONDON

Award-winning architectural practice, gpad london ltd, has completed a 14,682 sq. ft. office refurbishment at 39 Tabernacle Street EC2, located in the heart of Shoreditch. Featuring an exclusive roof terrace for tenants, the building is located 250 metres south east of Old Street roundabout and close to Moorgate and Liverpool Street stations, a perfect location for creative, tech and financial businesses alike. The joint venture developers were City Innovations and Boultbee LDN and the property agents are Knight Frank and Stirling Ackroyd.

gpad has extended and refurbished the ground floor façade and main entrance of the 1980’s office building to high specification.

Visitors enter the remodelled building through the reception, which benefits from a generous floor-to-ceiling height of nearly 4m, a feature staircase, exposed concrete soffit and feature lighting.

The architects retained the existing staircase which creates real impact on entering the building. The original 1980’s staircase was retained and refurbished and the stair balustrades have been polished with the stringer and trays painted. A series of pendant lights form a focal point over the stairs. The ceiling and adjacent wall blend together in a collection of raised diagonal lines and triangular shapes that leave a striking yet playful first impression and form a unique entryway to the first floor.

The reception is the main feature and was extended so that the architects could incorporate the stairs to the basement plant room, which has been converted into a bike store with showers.

The fully refurbished exterior is made up of low iron glazing, but once inside, a visitor encounters the polished plaster of the walls subtly contrasting with the glossy finish of the marble floor.

The showstopper roof terrace atop the 2nd floor has a view of the surrounding conservation area and landscaped churchyard. This terrace offers an exclusive break-out space for tenants for flexible outdoor working, meetings and relaxing.

For the office areas, to appeal to both financial and tech businesses, the brief was to conceal the ceiling services while maintaining ceiling height. The architects worked within the existing curtain walling creating a bulkhead around the perimeter to conceal services and downlights. The central sections were left exposed to exhibit the concrete ceiling structure, ensuring that ceiling height was maintained. The result is high quality, open plan floorplates with a semi-industrial look due to the partially exposed ceiling services, painted soffit with simple box LED striplights, driven by DALI dimmable control system, with a black finish alternating with white acoustic baffles. All floors, from the basement upwards, benefit from excellent levels of natural light.

The neutral colour palette of white and grey complements the exposed and reconditioned concrete columns. The bathrooms are kept clean and simple with white herringbone tiling to the walls, with brass fixtures and fittings.

FEATURING AN EXCLUSIVE ROOF TERRACE FOR TENANTS, THE BUILDING IS LOCATED 250 METRES SOUTH EAST OF OLD STREET ROUNDABOUT AND CLOSE TO MOORGATE AND LIVERPOOL STREET STATIONS, A PERFECT LOCATION FOR CREATIVE, TECH AND FINANCIAL BUSINESSES ALIKE.

Jeremy Wiggins, director, gpad london ltd comments: “The brief was to create a statement building from the abandoned carcass of 80’s commercialism that would be appealing to both creative tech and financial companies. This has been achieved by creating an open plan layout incorporating partially exposed services, while maintaining ceiling height, with a monochrome colour scheme to meet the demand of future tenants’ needs.”

THE ORIGINAL 1980’S STAIRCASE WAS RETAINED AND REFURBISHED AND THE STAIR BALUSTRADES HAVE BEEN POLISHED WITH THE STRINGER AND TRAYS PAINTED.

KAWNEER GLAZING SYSTEMS GET UNDER THE SKIN OF A NEW CITY CAMPUS Modular or off-site curtain walling by leading UK manufacturer Kawneer has played a key role in a building which forms the centrepiece of Imperial College London’s new White City campus.

The bespoke, twin-skin and triple-glazed ventilated curtain walling, based on Kawneer’s unitised AA®201 system, features on the main south elevation of the Molecular Sciences Research Hub (MSRH) in the college’s first new campus in over a century.

Designed for fast-track installation, it has been used alongside a single-skin version of the AA®201 curtain walling on the north façade and feature AA®720 fixed light casement windows and AA®720 commercial entrance doors. The AA®720 range is Kawneer’s most thermally efficient.

The 26,000m2 landmark building designed by Aukett Swanke was initially delivered as a shell and core scheme in late 2016, alongside the new Translation and Innovation Hub as part of the college’s second-phase £110m development which followed the architects’ Phase 1 post-graduate student accommodation project.

It provides nine floors of Department of Chemistry laboratory space and support facilities and two basement levels which include lecture facilities and an Energy Centre for the whole site which has become a vibrant urban quarter integrating an academic programme with office, residential and retail facilities.

The competition brief focussed on flexibility of the building.

Imperial College and its joint venture development partners Voreda sought an agile ‘chassis’ for the building which could accommodate current uses but which could be easily adaptable for future change, and avoid the limitations of bespoke characteristics to the form, floorplates, superstructure, shell and services strategy.

At a later point in the design development the college’s accommodation strategy led to the building being refined specifically for Molecular Research as part of the Department of Chemistry. Again the design of the ‘chassis and bodywork’ proved to be extremely flexible, incorporating high use of fume cupboards for extensive laboratory use. Plant room provisions were also refined to allow for more intensive servicing and ventilation, all within the envelope of the consented shell and core. www.imperial.ac.uk

Page 103 - Archetech

Initially the superstructure was conceived as in-situ concrete with flat slab, again to easily accommodate laboratory uses and more conventional research and office space. Working closely with the contractor, and after visits to its pre-fabrication plant in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, the scheme was proved flexible enough to adapt, adopting precast sub-structure and super-structure construction as well as the modular reconstituted precast fabrication of the storey height east and west façade treatment. This decision underscored the flexibility of the design and also proved beneficial in reducing the overall construction programme.

JAMES LATHAM Following the enormous success of its first Product Specification Showroom which opened in London in 2016, James Latham has just launched its second showroom, this time in Manchester.

Archetech - Page 104

Just like the London studio, the new Manchester facility reinforces Latham’s single-source supplier status, showcasing an enormous range of its exclusive and semi-exclusive decorative panel and timber materials all under one roof.

The fit-out has been cleverly designed to incorporate a number of James Latham’s focus products and as well as a showroom, the 60m2 studio is also being used for networking events, surface and material launches and demonstrations, presentations, meetings, training and CPD seminars.

Established more than 260 years ago and with 10 depots across the UK, James Latham is the country’s biggest independent panel and timber products distributor.

Mr Goodman added, “As well as investing in the design and fit-out of our London and Manchester showrooms to present our products in an extremely creative and customer friendly way, we have also made a significant investment in developing, training and building our own dedicated A&D team which are focussed on servicing this sector.”

Rob Goodman, Specification Manager, James Latham said, “This new showroom really is a one-stop-shop for specifiers and has been created to inspire the North West’s architectural and design community who are looking to specify materials for both inside and outside the building, providing expert advice and enabling them to keep abreast of the latest trends and developments in surface solutions.”

Please visit James Latham’s website (www.lathamtimber.co.uk) for updates on forthcoming events and follow them on twitter (@ lathamsltd) and facebook (www.facebook.com/lathamsltd) or why not drop in and take a look around. The showroom, which is located at 31a Tib Street, Manchester, M4 1LX is open between 9.00am and 5.00pm, Monday – Friday. For more information email pssm@ lathams.co.uk or call 0161 537 1185

“James Latham’s enormous product portfolio includes some of the most recognised panel and timber brands in the world and this new facility is the perfect platform to showcase the sheer breadth of our offering, all from a single source.”

MONITOR AUDIO LAUNCHES NEW ADDITIONS TO THE VECTA RANGE: THE V240-LV SPEAKER AND THE V-CLUSTER BRACKET Vecta is an architectural weather resistant range of speakers that offers incredible versatility and simple installation in places where other speaker choices would prove impractical. In both domestic and commercial locations, Vecta speakers can be wall-mounted, either horizontally or vertically, and discreetly installed under eaves or straight on the corner.

The new V240-LV speaker adds further versatility in commercial applications with 70/100V line level. An integrated transformer allows the system designer to consider multiple speakers in a system without worrying about impedance matching or losses where long cable runs are required. This particularly benefits

larger commercial applications, but can also be beneficial in larger, more complex domestic designs.

VECTA To further expand the application options of the V240-LV speaker, Monitor Audio has launched a new 4-point cluster bracket, the V-CLUSTER. Using a ceilingfan-mounting pole* (not supplied) allows four V240-LVs to be slotted onto the V-CLUSTER bracket to form a sphere, providing near-perfect 360-degree sonic coverage in the horizontal plane. Enhanced vertical dispersion is provided by the natural curvature of the Vecta’s design and its wide dispersion driver array. The bracket fitting is completed with a single point screw securing each speaker in place.

With an IP55 rating, Vecta is a speaker range designed to withstand extreme environmental exposure and to deliver incredible audio quality for a lifetime. The compact form factor and unique design aesthetics ensure the speakers blend seamlessly into the background, providing architects and installers with a fresh choice for discreet internal and external audio applications.

CREATE A USEABLE LIVING SPACE BELOW YOUR DECK WITH REVOLUTIONARY TREX RAINESCAPE® The new Trex RainEscape® system allows homeowners and developers to maximise outdoor living environments and create the dream space. Trex RainEscape deck drainage system manages water to allow for a dry, useable space beneath an elevated deck.

Installed above the joists of the substructure, this innovative system features a trough and downspout construction that drains water away from a deck and protects the area below from rain, sun, snow melt and other elements. As a result, homeowners gain bonus space for storage or added living area. With Trex RainEscape, homeowners can safely outfit the area under a deck with outdoor furnishings, lighting, ceiling fans and entertainment components.

The Trex RainEscape system is an easy and inexpensive addition to any elevated deck and is backed by a 20-year limited warranty.

Trex Company is the world’s No 1 decking brand. Made of more than 95% recycled materials, Trex composite decking provides

the look and feel of real wood, without the environmental impact.

Trex resists fading scratching and mould growth so, unlike wooden decking, it won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter.

To learn more about Trex RainEscape, visit https://www.trexrainescape.com/ Visit http://uk.trex.com for more information on Trex products.

Page 105 - Archetech

Unlike competitive products – which make use of “under joist” technology – Trex RainEscape is installed above the joists, protecting them from moisture, water damage and deterioration that may occur over time and ensuring the structural integrity of the deck. The system is easy and efficient to install on both new and existing decks – making it an ideal solution for both contractors and do-it-yourselfers.

TIANYI PAVILION UM

Archetech - Page 106

The Pavilion is located at Tianyi Square, Ningbo. It covers an area of 178 square meters. The building presents an irregular geometrical form as a whole.The intention of facing the main entrance towards the entrance of the Tianyi Square is to enrich the city interface of the Square while keeping the commercial atmosphere intact.

The roof ridge of the building conforms the direction from the entrance to the central axis of the Square. Considering the temporary nature of the Pavilion and its costs, the form of folding surfaces is adopted instead of using curved roof, and the turning of the roof shows dynamic changes according to different functions. A semi-outdoor sheltered space is formed with a suspended lightweight structure to attract the crowd into the private interior display area.

The effect of space flow between indoor and outdoor is achieved within a limited land area.

‘Human Interaction through Architecture’ is a key point of design.

The way to use architecture here is to ‘watch’.

The wall of the building corresponds to the turning angle of the roof. The side wall of the building constitutes a special space, and it looks like a light filter as a whole which naturally transfers the inside and outside of the building and produces visual changes between virtual and real space as people move.

In order to naturally integrate the form into the environment of the Square and also to give the Pavilion a more delicate and abstract appearance, the main building material is decided to be aluminium plates. So that it can not only reflect the surroundings of Tianyi Square, but can also ensure the privacy of the internal space.

Page 107 - Archetech

THE INTENTION OF FACING THE MAIN ENTRANCE TOWARDS THE ENTRANCE OF THE TIANYI SQUARE IS TO ENRICH THE CITY INTERFACE OF THE SQUARE WHILE KEEPING THE COMMERCIAL ATMOSPHERE INTACT.

A SEMI-OUTDOOR SHELTERED SPACE IS FORMED WITH A SUSPENDED LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE TO ATTRACT THE CROWD INTO THE PRIVATE INTERIOR DISPLAY AREA.

Archetech - Page 108

In addition, the owner hopes that the landscape view of the Pavilion towards the fountain will not be affected, so the continuous glass curtain wall is used on the north side of the building.

Due to the extremely tight construction period of the project, UM deepened the design of structural components and skin materials through BIM, and then assembled them on site after processing and prefabrication in the factory. The design and construction process of the Temporary Pavilion at Tianyi Square was completed in only one month. www.um-sh.cn

PERFORATED FACADE PAYS MUSICAL TRIBUTE THE MUSIC BOX MULTI-STOREY CAR PARK IN HAYES IS PART OF A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PROJECT ON A SITE WITH A RICH HERITAGE OF BRITISH MUSIC. WHEN DESIGNING THE FACADE FOR THE CAR PARK, THE ARCHITECTS WANTED TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE FORMER FACTORY BUILDINGS AND ACHIEVED THIS

BY USING RMIG IMAGEPERF TO RECREATE AN ICONIC PHOTOGRAPH OF A REMARKABLE PERIOD IN POPULAR MUSIC HISTORY.

A major development project has been carried out on a former factory site in Hayes, Middlesex. The site is steeped in music history dating back over 100 years, as it once housed the Gramophone Company factory, the renowned HMV record label and the famous EMI record pressing plant, which manufactured records for some of the most legendary names in British music, such as The Beatles, Queen, The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd. The site has now very fittingly been renamed The Old Vinyl Factory in honour of its record pressing past.

In keeping with the theme of both The Old Vinyl Factory and the Music Box car park itself, it was decided that for the west side of the facade, a photograph of screaming fans at a Beatles concert should be reproduced using RMIG ImagePerf technology. Using various hole sizes, it was possible to transfer and enlarge this amazing image, ensuring that it will be enjoyed by many for years to come.

The redeveloped area now comprises art deco office buildings, new homes, restaurants, shops, a gym, cinema and a live music venue, making this a diverse community of living and working areas, as well as retail and entertainment facilities. The architects at Studio Egret West saw this as a new beginning for the site, bringing it into the digital age and yet still embracing its incredible heritage.

RMIG’s experience and expertise were invaluable for a project of this kind. More than 1,000 perforated sheets covering an area of 3,500 m2 were manufactured for the facade using 2.5 mm thick sendzimir galvanised steel. The sheets were subsequently powder coated, making them durable and weather resistant.

AN EYE-CATCHING AND DURABLE FACADE As part of the development, a multi-storey car park was constructed to cover the needs of the area. The car park was designed by Studio Egret West and consists of seven parking levels, providing a total of 424 parking bays. The car park also has an electrical substation with 96 vehicle charging points.

FAMOUS IMAGE RECREATED RMIG ImagePerf is part of the RMIG City Emotion concept and presents elegant and innovative solutions to the challenges of architectural design. RMIG ImagePerf converts perforated metal into a ‘projection screen’ for art, photographs, illustrations and graphic designs.

In addition to the picture perforation and powder coating, RMIG was also responsible for bending and numbering the perforated metal sheets in order to make them ready for delivery and to ensure a time-saving process when installing the facade panels.

When designing a multi-storey car park, it is important to keep in mind the need for sufficient ventilation and lighting. To meet this challenge, it was decided that the steel frame structure of the car park should be clad in perforated metal, ensuring both adequate air and light, and at the same time creating an aesthetically attractive facade. RMIG, world leader in perforation, manufactured and supplied the perforated metal sheets for the project, and using their City Emotion concept, gave the facade a unique feature.

SECONDARY OPERATION AND TIME-SAVING PROCESS

OUT NOW –THIRD EDITION OF FTMRC GUIDE TO GOOD PRACTICE One of the principle objectives of the Federation of Traditional Roofing Contractors is to improve the workmanship standards of installation and widen the technical design knowledge necessary to protect the integrity of an installation.

The FTMRC was therefore determined to collate and publish a comprehensive technical Guide to Good Practice in Fully Supported Metal Roofing and Cladding, which was first published in 2007 and updated in 2012.

In 2018 an even better, much extended and improved third edition is now available in laminated hardback and in digital format suitable for PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones.

Containing over 120 pages of technical information, more than 150 illustrations, plus tables, charts and full colour photographs, this essential guide for designers and installers is set out in tabbed, easy-to-read sections which cover the general detailing requirements for aluminium, copper, galvanised and stainless steel, and zinc roofing and cladding.

RECOGNISING EXCELLENCE

TIMBER DECKING AND CLADDING ASSOCIATION SOURCING ACCREDITED materials, coupled with correct standards of installation, is essential in the pursuit of durability. The result will then be a long-lasting and sustainable area of decking or cladding, that adds natural warmth and beauty to the project.

The Timber Decking and Cladding Association (TDCA) runs DeckMark® and CladMark® quality accreditation schemes to offer formal recognition to manufacturers, suppliers and installers who are carrying out an excellent job. A database of these approved suppliers can be found on our website, helping to promote these companies to those specifying a project.

TDCA online resources covering

this and other subjects are designed to help specifiers, designers and installers alike to design for durability.

GREAT PRODUCT AND FAST LEAD TIME Trendgrey Construction Limited is a successful building company based in Warwickshire. Specialists in challenging construction projects, they are also a long-standing customer of ARP. Working on a project recently in Arlington Avenue, Leamington Spa, Trendgrey Construction required an Aluminium Rainwater System for a newly built three-storey property consisting of six flats and a two storey-maisonette.

To ensure the project progressed smoothly, Nigel Hancock, Area Sales Manager – ARP met with John Yates, the Quantity Surveyor – Trendgrey Construction to discuss the extent of the project.

With over 100 metres each of gutter and downpipe, along with associated accessories, it was quite a sizeable project.

Archetech - Page 118

Nigel visited site prior to the order being placed to make certain that the swan-necks were set out and measured correctly and to deliver samples of the product for client approval.

ARP’s Sentinel beaded half round aluminium gutter and Colonnade flush joint downpipes were polyester powder coated to 7016 anthracite grey within ARP’s in-house PPC line and were ideal for this project, as they are made from a naturally occurring material, which is abundantly available, fully recyclable and non-corrosive. This lightweight and easy to install system offers the new contemporary style required for this building.

John Yates, Quantity Surveyor commented “Great product and good fast lead time”.

ARP pride themselves in offering a quality solution for all your roofline and rainwater challenges and will work with you to fulfil your requirements. Give us a call today on 0116 473 5678.

SketchUp 2018 is here!

Deliver work you're proud of

Smarter Sections

Make Better Drawings

Section planes now have names and symbols, making them easy to find and organise. Filled section cuts are now baked into SketchUp Pro! There is also improved performance for models that use section planes to hide a large amount of geometry. The more geometry you section off, the more you'll benefit!

Need to add linework that's not in your model? Create a scaled drawing in LayOut and sketch over a 3D model to flesh out your project, or draw from details to scale directly in LayOut. With inferencing, chamfering and filleting, arcs, offset arrays and selections; LayOut is even better at everything you need to draw details or create beautiful illustrations at scale.

Got BIM? There’s more!

We’ve introduced Advanced Attribute fields for a component's Price, Size, URL, Type Status and Owner. Generate Report now aggregates component data so you can do things like configure reports to sum parts and quantities and cutlists, or create detailed estimates by adding up prices by layer.

You can rely on IFC in SketchUp to transfer the attributes you assign and manipulate in projects, allowing for information to move freely between SketchUp and other applications.

• Import DWG files into LayOut

• Native support for importing and exporting STL files

• Multi Viewport Dimensioning

• Improvement to Outliner's overall load performance
