BUILDERS FORTNIGHTLY SUPPLEMENT

St Bernards School Project

M

J Lancley began the new St Bernards School Project in August 2014 for the Government of Gibraltar.

A very interesting undertaking as this state of the art school was to blend in with the original features of the over 200 year old building.

We installed new ceilings throughout, including modern acoustic ceilings in the 2 music rooms, lay in grid ceilings to all classrooms and a highly detailed acoustic and plasterboard ceiling to the courtyard area.

now use to access the classrooms via the courtyard.

MJL plastered and rendered all internal and external walls being mindful to protect the historic value of the building, we are extremely proud of the outcome, as you can see by the accompanying pictures the blend between new and old is fantastic.

We also took the lead role along with Gibraltar Heritage in protecting and upgrading the many Heritage features in St Bernards including Italian Roman Columns along with the terracotta balustrades and the key and coin features around the windows and doors.

We also constructed ultra modern wall systems comprising of the latest materials turning this old Military Hospital into Gibraltars flagship school.

MJL also supplied and installed the composite wall panelling and detailed ceiling for the sports hall.

A mezzanine floor was required by the architects to ‘float’ around the amazing courtyard, MJL installed a mezzanine floor using our extensive knowledge of Light Gauge Steel to 2 floors which students can

St Bernards School was completed in time for the new school term in September 2015 and we are extremely proud to have been part of what was a challenging but satisfying project.

Modern living with

traditional values

This summer marked a significant moment in the regeneration of central Gibraltar as work began on the luxury Midtown development.

The first phase of the project will deliver 4 residential buildings, Lexington, Burlinton, Arlington & Providence (which will be home to 91 apartments and 6 penthouses and will include a roof top swimming pool and gardens) along with Madison that

brings 7,000 m2 of office space over 12 floors and overall 1000m2 of street level commercial space.

Naomi Quigley, Brand & Marketing Coordinator for the project, said “Midtown is evidence of the progress Gibraltar is making in terms of investing in a solid and secure future for everyone that enjoys life on our unique Rock” she continued

“the development will enhance the heart of Gibraltar, bringing life to a previously underused but central area. With select shops, well chosen restaurants, beautiful green areas and leisure amenities available to all and of course all just below simply stunning residences and offices, Midtown will prove to be the most desirable place to live, work and play” Readers might be interested to know

the reasoning behind the seemingly stateside theme to the project that spans 4.3 acres in the heart of Gibraltar.

Naomi Quigley explained “The name Midtown

evolved

quite

naturally,

due to the central location, when development of this site was first mooted a few years back, and of course there is an logical association to the original Midtown in the U.S”

Perhaps not surprisingly, midtown Manhattan is the Americas greatest commercial, entertainment and media district and houses the country’s largest business community. “In giving Midtown (Gibraltar) a full identity, we wanted to move away from the usual well-used military and sea references and reflect on something of where we are now and our next evolution as a country and a community. The New England towns that the various areas of the development are named after, not only make for great sounding addresses, but also hold a deeper meaning. There is a strong synergy between the early founding fathers and the people of Gibraltar at this point in time. The pilgrims were brave, entrepreneurial individuals that

“Midtown is evidence of the progress Gibraltar is making in terms of investing in a solid and secure future for everyone that enjoys life on our unique Rock”

sought freedom and independence and we too are a frontier community with a people determined to forge their own destiny and secure freedom of choice” As the artist’s impressions and plans of the project circulate, it is clear to see that Midtown has been skillfully designed to provide a contemporary and sustainable hub of residential, commercial and corporate buildings with a strong emphasis on providing green spaces for comfortable living and the whole community. Recent studies by the University of Exeter show that living near parks and gardens in cities or towns actually boosts mental well-being and that these positive benefits are significantly long lasting. Naomi expanded on this ‘green focus’ being one of the

key objectives in the process “When space is at a premium in a place such as Gibraltar, developers often make the mistake try to maximize every scrap of financial potential and as a result sacrifice some of the things that make for a real home and quality of life. With Midtown a great deal of care has been taken to think about the interior of each apartment, balcony & terrace, the lobbies, the courtyards, the private gardens and public park, all with the objective of creating a really desirable place to live long term. Equally, the areas that are to be used for corporate offices and commercial outlets have had the same amount of forward vision applied and once complete, the development will be an asset to Gibraltar for many generations to come.”

BUILDING CONTRACTORS

O

ur clients who are property investors and designers wanted to transform a tired looking penthouse into a modern and chic Scandinavian style apartment.

BEFORE

BEFORE

Challenges

Sticking to a tight budget and restricted access to bring in all the materials.

The clients wanted to achieve a more open plan effect to enjoy the most beautiful sea view and golf course from the kitchen, living room and even the entrance.

We achieved this by knocking down dividing walls and fitting large bifold windows and doors. The living room window opens up to expose 5m of breathtaking views and brightens the whole living space.

With the creative ideas of our client, we laid beautiful wooden flooring which we imported from Belgium, original tiles in the entrance and fitted some very smart bathrooms.

AFTER

Favourite The wooden flooring throughout and the Decton worktops in the kitchen and bathrooms which add a beautiful and luxurious element.

Testimonial from our client: We are very happy with the cooperation with ProMas, who executed our ideas and wants in a very satisfying way.

Communication is a very important factor for a good result, and Andy kept us updated through the whole process.

We can highly recommend ProMas, and we are looking forward to working with them again.
