PROTEUS GL HELPS STUDENT
BUILDING IN LONDON BLEND IN
THE £7 MILLION DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTES TO THE GREATER LONDON
AUTHORITY’S (GLA) AMBITIOUS PLAN TO COMPLETELY REDEVELOP THE AREA
Proteus Facades has helped a monumental 24-storey student
accommodation block in London to blend in with its surroundings,
through innovative use of the company’s glass rainscreen
cladding panels.
Located in the Mayor of London’s Old Oak & Park Royal
Opportunity Area, Holbrook House, designed by award-winning
architects SimpsonHaugh and Partners, is part of the Downing
Students portfolio of properties.
The £7 million development contributes to the Greater London
Authority’s (GLA) ambitious plan to completely redevelop the
area by creating thousands of new homes and jobs over the next
30 years. It is also the first student accommodation scheme
in London that meets the new GLA Supplementary Planning
Guidance (SPG) on affordable rents for student accommodation.
