ALUK FENESTRATION SOLUTIONS

THE QUADRANGLE

ALUK FENESTRATION SOLUTIONS TRANSFORM THE QUADRANGLE IN CHELTENHAM
The Quadrangle building in the historic heart of Cheltenham , once a 1970s landmark , has been completely transformed into a contemporary mixed-use commercial development featuring exclusively AluK window , door and curtain walling systems .
Designed by AWW Architects from their Bristol studio and completed by Beard Construction , it now features an inner courtyard , ground floor retail space , four storeys of open plan workspace and the town ’ s first rooftop restaurant .
The fenestration package was absolutely key to retaining the design language of the original building within a more contemporary aesthetic , whilst also meeting the requirement for improved thermal efficiency , more natural light and better natural ventilation .
