SENIOR CREATES A FRESH VIEW FOR NEW GORBALS HOUSING ASSOCIATION

The new office development for the New Gorbals Housing Association in Glasgow features a variety of aluminium fenestration solutions from Senior Architectural Systems. Together, these have helped create a light and airy workspace and an impressive centrepiece for the wider regeneration of the area. The welcoming main entrance has been created using Senior’s slimline and thermally-enhanced SF52 aluminium curtain wall system and SPW501 aluminium commercial doors. The fenestration package also includes Senior’s SPW600e aluminium windows, which were used throughout. The ground-floor glazing has been recessed to provide privacy to the internal work spaces whilst complementing the overall ‘open’ design of the scheme. In contrast, the first-floor glazing protrudes slightly to maximise views of the surrounding city. Senior’s products were fabricated and installed by Scottech for main contractor CCG. The office environment includes both large areas for group work and smaller, more private booths and is centred around a large timber-clad atrium. The use of internal and external glazed partitions and windows helps balance the space, providing links with both the other areas of the building and the outside.
