SPECIFICATION GROUP PROVIDES
FLEXIBLE APPROACH TO ONE
NEW STREET SQUARE
Using its capabilities in security design and specification, Project
Specification Group delivered a bespoke range of complete
doorset solutions worth £345,000 to London’s new retail and
office building near Farringdon Station.
The 16-storey commercial building, One New Street Square, was
designed by Robin Partington Architects. The building aimed to
achieve BREEAM’s ‘Excellent’ environmental standard through the
use of sustainable building methods throughout construction.
Working closely with the project’s principal contractor Skanska,
as well as maintaining a close relationship with the architects, the
Project Specification Group team delivered 204 complete doorset
solutions from across the ASSA ABLOY portfolio, including highsecurity
steel doors, architectural ironmongery and a range of
door closers.
David Shields, National Specification Manager at Project
Specification Group, said: “Our team worked very closely with
the client, architects and contractors to ensure that we could
recommend the most suitable solutions for each aspect of
the multifaceted building to combine the highest security with
premium aesthetics.
“As the building aimed to be BREEAM excellent rated, it was
important to the client that we had a good understanding of
how to integrate our products in the building and still meet the
requirements of an energy efficient building.
We were able to recommend an appropriate solution to achieve
a BREEAM Excellent rating through the EPDs and WLC data
associated within our products. This meant we were able to
provide a guaranteed performance for the lifecycle of the building.”
Tim Halford, the Project Director at Skanska, said: “The BREEAM
rating was very important for this project, and the team from ASSA
ABLOY were on hand every step of the way to help us achieve the
rating and supply fit for purpose solutions.
“We found the data ASSA ABLOY provided was extremely
useful when calculating the long-term maintenance and overall
performance of the building – something that helped us reduce
any anticipated risks for the architect and the client. Plus the
product specific EPDs formed a vital part in assessing the
building’s overall energy performance.”
