SELECTION SHINES ON NW LONDON SCHEME
»»
A SOUGHT-AFTER NW LONDON residential development , by one of the country ’ s biggest developers , has made an elegant and expressive use of a selection of door and window solutions from Sapa , part of the Hydro Group .
Sapa is part of the Hydro Group , a world leader in aluminium solutions that also
encompasses sister brands Technal and Wicona . Through its globally renowned Sapa Technology Hubs , the group is shaping a sustainable future , with innovative products that satisfy and surpass customer expectations , in line with demands of CSR and increasing environmental regulations .
Barratt London ’ s Hendon Waterside development in Tyre Way , NW9 is already into its third phase , having created a series of apartment buildings which have proved extremely popular with home purchasers . A key element to the design of the properties , by acclaimed architectural practice Allies and Morrison , is the glazing package , offering sleek lines , robust security and excellent thermal performance . This was supplied by Essexbased Ravenworth , a leading member of Sapa ’ s national fabricator network .
Chris Webb , a Director of Ravenworth , commented : “ As part of the assistance we received from Sapa in winning Phase II of the West Hendon project , the company provided us with all the data and guidance necessary to obtain our own Secured by Design
certification on the systems . On building E2 , for instance we installed main entrance screens using the Elegance 52 curtain walling system . Then for the individual apartments across the 25 floors , we installed 150 Confort four-piece sliding patio doors opening onto the balconies , and 290 Dualsecure residential doors , as well as the DF Si Tilt and Turn windows .”
Located adjacent to the Welsh Harp Reservoir , Hendon Waterside has earned the prestigious Built for Life commendation , a government-endorsed accolade for welldesigned homes and a recognised industry seal of approval . It will eventually extend to 2,000 residential properties including one , two and three-bedroom homes .
Hendrik Heyns , a Partner at Allies and Morrison Architects stated : “ Architecture that integrates seamlessly with the surrounding context of the Welsh Harp and abundant parkland will create a highly enjoyable place to live , allowing you to make use of these enviable natural assets . Furthermore , the geography and ecology of West Hendon make it an ideal site for a new residential community .”
