Back to the office...with Clement Windows

...with Clement Windows

[MAKING THE RETURN to office-based working a more comfortable experience, two recent stunning office refurbishment projects in Central London feature new steel windows manufactured and installed by Clement Windows.

A great example of 1930s Art Deco architecture, Douglas House (above left) sits on Great Titchfield Street in the West End. Formerly known as The Media Village, Douglas House was acquired by serviced office providers The Office Group (TOG) from landlords the Langham Estate in 2019. TOG, together with Note Design Studio, transformed the building with a colourful concept that blends with the distinctive 1930s features and gives a sense of fluidity, openness and light throughout.

As its former name suggests, that area of London is a hub for local media and IT businesses operating out of the West End and the brief for the building was to create a flexible workspace where people can feel stimulated by their environment, leading to greater productivity. Wellness was also a central focus and the building includes an oxygen room, a parents’ room and a roof terrace, which are all integral to enabling and inspiring everyone who enters.

Good ventilation and an abundance of natural light have become buzzwords in the post-COVID era and the 300-plus new steel windows from the Clement EB24 range, which were chosen by office fit-out and refurbishment contractors Parkeray, mean that anyone returning to work at Douglas House will benefit from both. Polyester powder-coated in pure white and furnished with Warren handles in a satin chrome finish, the windows lend a contemporary look to the building on the outside, as well as supporting the 21st-century ways of working inside.

Clement steel windows were also chosen for the refurbishment of 6 Middle Street (above right) – a double-fronted office building in a busy part of the City of London near Smithfield Market. Surrounded by narrow cobbled streets, it is situated on the boundary of the Smithfield Conservation Area.

Blenheim House Construction selected windows from the Clement EB24 range because they best suited the original look of the building and allowed for the maximum amount of light to flow through the property. Natural light was an important aim of this high-specification refurbishment, too: central to the building is a mezzanine, which creates a dramatic light-filed doubleheight space.

As a finishing touch, the window handles are polyester powder-coated in matt RAL 9005 jet black to match the frames.
