Project Summary
Located on the edge of the Olympic Park in East London, and on the site of a former chocolate factory and warehouse, this 16-storey mixed residential and commercial development consists of 158 one and two bedroom apartments – and features studios for local artists, film makers and designers.
To retain the design style of the original structure, which featured steel windows, green polyester powder coated Smart Alitherm Heritage windows were specified for the refurbishment project, with a combination of casement, top-hung and side-hung units installed. On the building’s front elevation, arch-headed windows were set back into the original brickwork reveals to maintain the building’s traditional aesthetics.
Completing the project, Smart’s commercial door and framing system was used for the main entrance on the ground floor and the company’s Visoline doors and tilt and turn windows were installed in to a new steel frame extension constructed on the building’s roof to provide additional accommodation.
