ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ENTRANCE
GEZE ’ s automatic doors provided the perfect solution for a new building where environmentally friendly criteria was at the heart of its design .
When CABI needed a new home to replace the old school building they had been in for 33 years and now required a high level of maintenance they turned to international design practice Scott Brownrigg .
The challenge was to design an energy efficient , purpose-built headquarters for the not-for-profit organisation that was in keeping with their values of protecting the environment and enhancing bio-diversity , provided a workplace for up to 180 members of staff and was an impressive local landmark .
The new entrance had to meet this exacting vision .
A GEZE Slimdrive SCR automatic curved sliding door was chosen to provide a light and airy all-glass lobby entrance which blends seamlessly into the facade .
The circular entrance features two sets of automatic bi-parting curved glass sliding doors , creating a lobby that minimises heat loss or gain and so helps to contribute to the building ’ s environmental credentials .
In addition the Slimdrive SCR combines high performance with unobtrusive operation – the drives are just 7cm in height and very discreet .
Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and in keeping with CABI ’ s values the building is topped with a living roof designed to attract insects and birds and enhance biodiversity .
The CABI headquarters were shortlisted for the ArchDaily Building of the Year 2021 Awards .
