Unique Boathouse
Project in Devon
» » LONDON BASED
architectural practice,
Wimshurst Pelleriti, has recently
specified P C Henderson’s
Straight Sliding 301 industrial
door hardware for a unique
Boathouse project on the River
Yealm in Devon.
The architecture practice was
provided with a challenging
brief to design a boathouse
which could be sensitively built
into the steep sided estuary of
the river. The new structure
would be small in size but used
to store a wealth of waterside
equipment and water craft,
including a 14 foot speedboat.
The result was an innovative
and sophisticated infrastructure
built with galvanized steel and
untreated Siberian larch to
reflect the woodland setting. To
meet the design requirements
for optimum storage, using
minimal space, a series of sliding
doors were installed on the
ground level of the boathouse to
enable easy access from both the
surrounding land and water. P
C Henderson’s Straight Sliding
301 was identified as the best
system for the project.
Will Wimshurst, Director at
Wimshurst Pelleriti commented
“Our aim was to not only
design a solution which was
innovative and aesthetically
pleasing but one which could
also deliver considerable social
benefits to our client. By
incorporating seven different
sliding door systems throughout
the boathouse, we were able
to maximise both internal
and external space whilst also
ensuring easy access to the
quayside and slipway”.
The project also benefited
from a number of other design
elements including a hoist so that
the heavy yet delicate speedboat
could be stored 10ft high in the
eaves and easily lowered into the
water when required.
“The doors on some of the
systems were extremely heavy
so it was important that the
specified hardware could cater
for the additional weight. Due
to the surrounding marine
environment, it was also
important that the material used
was highly corrosive resistant
without affecting performance”,
continued Will.
Straight Sliding makes
up part of P C Henderson’s
industrial range of sliding door
hardware. The robust system
caters for anything from light
commercial doors right up to
heavy industrial doors weighing
up to 2000kg.
