The apartment is one of three penthouses in the 52 unit development by the Manhattan loft corporation. It covers the top three fl oors of the west tower of this famous London landmark. PAGE5.indd 1 04/07/2013 13:40 PAGE6.indd 1 04/07/2013 13:40 The client Arran Patel hired TG Studio to transform the unit from the standard developer spec into a personal and luxurious home. As the property is of highest public interest and the interiors listed by English Heritage as very significant, the floor plan had to be broadly maintained but all staircases, balustrading and partitioning, where possible, were replaced. The Studio and Arran worked closely together removing all bathrooms, floor finishes, built in wardrobes and the kitchen. The master bedroom, which is located on the top floor, is now reached through a new staircase that turns around an oak clad storage room reached off the main entrance hall. TG-Studio enlarged the floor area on this level and separated the space into a walk in wardrobe, finished in oak and sheep leather and presonalised to Arran’s needs. The master bedroom space is open plan but can be closed to the triple height living room by an electrical operated curtain. Arran let The Studio select and furnish the entire penthouse and a meridian bed in blue velvet was chosen in this bedroom flanked by vividly coloured lacquered bedside tables from Lema. The master ensuite has been enlarged too and now features a Portuguese travertine stone which has a cave like quality. The bathroom features an extra-large walk in shower with a flush TV and bespoke double sink unit finished in the stone, mirror and the textile oak present throughout the Penthouse, which enhances the earthy and organic feel of this sanctuary. The middle and lower floor (floor 4 and 5 of the building) are occupied by two levels of entertaining. A new staircase has been designed connecting both levels, featuring oak veneer, plan glass and wooden strangers painted in off white. PAGE7.indd 1 04/07/2013 13:41 www.tg-studio.co.uk The staircase consists of a bridge that connects to a library which is cantilevering the main part of the staircase. The library unit is the feature of the staircase and also forms the balustrade to one side. It offers storage for books, statues and other artefacts Arran collects. The upper floor measures approximately 800 sqft and accommodates a very comfortable seating area and a zone for the pool table, a collector’s item owned by the client. The living room features furniture from Poltrona frau, knoll and Lema. The lower open floor plan is laid out as a relaxed kitchen zone, dining area and tv watching area. The TV area is located opposite the kitchen and balances in its elevation the open plan kitchen. The joinery accommodates the AV equipment and a visible library and is kept very white with arrabascato stone as a vertical feature behind the TV. The dining table is from Poliform as are the chairs, the sofa is from zanotti, the rug from the rug company. From there the penthouse gives access to two bedrooms with a dressing area and en suite each a secondary entrance to the apartment and a guest WC and storage. The two en suite bathrooms are located in two gothic towers of the building which gives them great views of the surrounding area and a triple ceiling height. They have been finished in Arrabascato marble and each feature a low hanging chandelier to play with the unusual ceiling height. The flooring throughout the penthouse is by Schotten and Hansen, the kitchen by Gemini design and features gaggenau appliances with arrabescato backslash and Pietra Serena worktop. Two stones that are characteristic through their veining and are considered as character stones explains Thomas, director of TG- Studio. Thomas and Arran have enjoyed this project so much that they are now looking to work together creating luxurious places. They are currently looking in London and New York for their next project under a joint banner.

It is due to deliver roughly 3,000 homes and other bene"ts like shops, restaurants, community facilities and public spaces over 15 years. !e forthcoming homes at the two sites have been announced as “some of the most sustainable and energy e#cient places to live in Britain” by Lend Lease project director Pascal Mittermaier. Copyright Press Association 2013 ‘New dawn’ for housebuilding sector Britain’s housebuilding recovery has been underlined by new "gures suggesting a “new dawn” for the industry. Last month saw the biggest rise in construction output for over a year, according to the Markit/CIPS construction purchasing managers’ index (PMI). !is showed a reading of 51 last month - above the 50 level which divides growth from contraction and the highest rate since May 2012. Construction movements have now grown for two successive months for the "rst time in over a year, fuelled by a jump in residential housebuilding. Residential housebuilding activity has risen for "ve successive months, but growth levels eased from the two-year high seen in May. CIPS chief executive David Noble said: “A new dawn is emerging in the construction industry.” He said the con"dence of a sustained recovery is starting to build, thanks to two months of consecutive output growth and the pace of fresh orders expansion hitting a 13-month high. He added: “Housing is the leading light sustaining last month’s performance”, $ooring months of decline during the economic downturn. Kelvin Davidson, property economist at consultancy Capital Economics, said the "gures add to other evidence of a pick-up in the wider economy. Copyright Press Association 2013 Industry bosses pen Green Deal letter !e volume of construction output across the globe will increase by over 70% to $15 trillion by 2025, a new report by Global Construction Perspectives and Oxford Economics predicts. !e study indicates the rapid growth, which will move faster than international GDP, will be down in no small part to three nations; China, India and the US. Global Construction Perspectives executive director Graham Robinson said: “World construction markets are at a tipping point already with 52% of all construction activity in emerging markets today. We expect to see this increasing to 63% by 2025, with China and India contributing most to growth in emerging markets.” China replaced America as the largest construction market in the world in 2010. It is predicted that its global share will climb from 18% to 26% by 2025 despite an anticipated slowdown. Global Construction Perspectives’ Mike Betts said China and India need to build an additional 270 million new houses by 2025, tasked with making the majority a%ordable. !e report also shows major opportunities for Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. !ese nations have become more appealing to manufacturing based on export and make up a $350 billion construction market increasing at over 6% each year. “While China is the key market, it would be a mistake to ignore the transformations happening elsewhere in Asia, which will help boost construction in Asia Paci"c,” said Oxford Economics director of industry services Jeremy Leonard. Copyright Press Association 2013 Ideal Standard International Continues to Support the Water Label At the Forefront of Water Efficiency Ideal Standard International is committed to making a difference to reducing water wastage and acts on this through the development of innovative water saving technology. It has developed hundreds of water saving products over the last decade. The Water Label gives consumers a variety of choice and price ranges with all listed products now having a new and easy to understand label. It is similar to the energy label seen on fridges and washing machines and shows at a glance how much water a product actually uses. The scheme is managed by the Bathroom Manufacturers Association which represents over ninety of the most well-known bathroom brands in the UK. Edmond Shipway appointed to YO! Sushi roll out Multi-disciplinary construction consultancy, Edmond Shipway, has recently begun work as CDM Co-ordinator on the latest in a programme of new store roll outs and upgrades for the Japanese restaurant chain, YO! Sushi. !e most recent scheme, located in a grade II listed building in the heart of Chester, Cheshire, follows the successful launch of Edmond Shipway’s "rst project for the restaurateurs at the UK’s newest shopping centre, Trinity Leeds. It is the third of a roll out of stores across the UK which will include a new development at Heathrow’s Terminal 2. Typically, the restaurants are to be located within existing retail complexes and Edmond Shipway’s role involves ensuring that any local issues e%ecting the development area are taken into account as well as highlighting and addressing any special requirements with the project team. In addition, it is their responsibility to guarantee that the design considers potential safety issues that could impact on the sta% and public, as well as managing the lifetime cleaning and maintenance concerns. On the Terminal 2 project, the team will address speci"c security requirements throughout the design process and manage the particular risks associated with working in a highly sensitive airport location. Edmond Shipway has also created a bespoke ‘YO! Sushi Building Manual’ which is now to be used as a standard template for this type of development by the group across the UK.

In a bid to combat frequent high winds as well as driving rain during the re-roofing of a leisure facility on the Devon coast, workers required a temporary roof to protect the site from the elements - the UBIX® Temporary Roofing System from COMBISAFE® was up for the challenge. One of the largest holiday centres in the Southwest, the Devon Cliffs Holiday Centre in Exmouth, has undergone a multi-million pound makeover which involved the renovation of one of the main buildings during the off-season. Specialist contractor Saxton Scaffolding were required to build a massive 40 x 35 meter temporary roof to protect the cliff edge site from the elements and ensure the building remained on track for completion prior to the re-opening in the spring of 2013. NFRC MEMBER AWARDED MBE FOR SERVICES TO CHARITY NFRC is thrilled to congratulate trade member Paul Strank, Managing Director of Paul Strank Roo!ng Ltd, who was recently awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list for services to charity and to the community of Wimbledon, south west London. "e MBE highlights the 40 years of sheer and utter devotion Paul has poured into his local community and his tireless dedication to raising money for a number of children’s charities. From running, rattling a tin, attempts at record-breaking or even jumping out of a plane, he’s done it and in doing so has grown strong bonds with the local community. On his recent award, Paul said, “I am just a roofer and have been doing that since 1969. I thought that honours like this were for pop stars, celebrities and war heroes. I think for a roofer to get an MBE is unusual. You get to hear about it !ve weeks before it is announced, but you have to keep it quiet. "e letter says that I have been recommended by the Prime Minister to the Queen to receive an MBE – I must have read it over and over again about 12 times!” On behalf of NFRC, its members and the industry as a whole we salute Paul Strank MBE and we look forward to seeing what charitable work Paul has planned for the future. SIG ROOFING URGES CONTRACTORS TO BE VIGILANT WHEN CHOOSING SLATE An increase in incorrectly marked, inferior slate coming into the UK market poses a worrying threat to merchants and contractors, warns SIG Roo!ng Supplies - the leading supply chain experts of roo!ng materials in the UK and the largest distributor of natural slate in Europe. Following the recent collapse of the slate market in France and the desperate bid by some Spanish quarries to make up their volumes elsewhere, rust-risk (e#ectively T2) slates are being badged and sold as T1 slate. UK roofers are buying these ‘competitive’ slates, o$en little cheaper than good, reliable T1 slate, completely unaware of the risks they are taking. While some quarries may even have “T1” certi!cation for some of their product, they will have such a history of rust that knowledgeable importers will avoid them- or sell it as T2. "e temptation for some distributors is to hope for the best and sell them “as seen” and their a$er-sales service may be no better than their slates. Green Deal Finance Alternative Offer A Scottish company is offering a funding alternative to ‘green-minded’ consumers left frustrated with delays over the Government’s Green Deal energy efficiency drive. Firstcall Home Assist has already carried out hundreds of Green Deal assessments for households around Scotland who are keen to make their properties more energy efficient. But while the Green Deal scheme has been warmly received, there has been growing dissatisfaction over the lack of access to Green Deal funding to allow projects to start. This has now prompted Edinburgh-based Firstcall Home Assist to take matters into its owns hands to create an alternative process and payment method for consumers wanting to benefit immediately from lower energy bills and warmer homes. Green Deal allows homes and businesses to pay for energy-saving improvements, such as loft or cavity wall insulation, heating, draught proofing, double glazing and renewable energy technologies, via a loan which is repaid through their energy bills. Paul Greaves, Managing Director of Firstcall Home Assist, said: “The Green Deal is a fantastic opportunity for families and businesses who want to take control of managing their heating bills and is a scheme that everyone should seriously consider. “But while there has been solid interest to take up the scheme, unfortunately we are still waiting on the funding to come through to allow the assessments to turn into actual completed projects. “We spotted this anomaly and have worked closely with Barclays to provide an alternative funding option for our customers based on the same finance package and efficiency measures they would get through the Green Deal assessment. “It means customers can introduce the same type of Green Deal energy efficiency measures now without having to wait for the Green Deal finance to come through. “This finance scheme means customers can benefit from great savings on their energy charges without having to worry to about any upfront costs. “Hopefully the Government Green Deal funding comes through sooner rather than later but until then we have the funding option and the energy efficiency products to suit any requirement.” PAGE11.indd 1 04/07/2013 13:42 A rc he te c h - Is su e 1 1 [P a g e 1 2] FIBRACOLOUR® .

First conceived as a contemporary solution to the screening of private space from public space, laser-cut panels have proven to be eff ective and versatile features in a number of spaces. Never ones to ignore the details, internationally acclaimed offi ce RARE architecture, led by Nathalie Rozencwajg and Michel da Costa Goncalves, have employed more low-cost and off - the-shelf construction techniques to rescue and distinguish the design potential of the tightest Parisian apartments, London lofts and urban redevelopments. The 2m x 3m panel is perfectly sized for modern CNC milling technologies, allowing unlimited options to be produced from common materials at controlled costs. When placed in a North London home, the perforated panel has provided an open plan kitchen with the options of degrees of openness to its adjacent living room. Though simple in appearance, the fi nal product is a result of a long and fruitful process of geometric experimentation. The panel is an eff ect generated through various cut-outs and presents itself as a fi eld of circles bored through widely-available plywood that is formed in layers. As the CNC milling technique spirals through the material, concentric circles of its layers appear, adding a further illusion of depth and dimension to the almost 2D construction. www.r-are.net [email protected] ARCHITECTURAL ARTWORKS: SMALL SCALE ARCHITECTURAL INTERVENTIONS THAT MAKE A REMARKABLE DIFFERENCE.

Kokkinias PAGE17.indd 1 04/07/2013 13:48 The design process for this large (600m2) supralocal pharmacy forced us to shift our viewpoint and come up with a virtual building—a placebo pharmacy. The octagonal shape of the existing structure was re-formed into a cylinder in order to create a spiral which seeks to converse with the rapid motion on Vouliagmenis Avenue, the urban artery on which the building stands. The panels of the façade are perforated using Braille, which both alludes to the system’s use on pharmaceutical packaging and boosts visibility by allowing the light to find its way into the interior. The new facade also protects the interior while acting as a lure for passers-by. Inside, the product display mirrors the circular frontage, while a ramp up to the upper level extends the dynamism of the exterior spiral into the interior space. The Pharmacy is arranged over two floors, the ground floor being the primary shop space with the upper mezzanine floor consisting of ancillary office space used as a temporary surgery for visiting health professionals. The pharmacy is arranged in plan in a radial pattern with the main cashiers desk acting as the focal point. The product displays fan out from this focal point giving the cashier the ability to view the whole pharmacy from this central area. The drug dispensary, preparation areas and toilets are also arranged off this radial pattern. This pattern gives a natural flow to the space and allows light deep into the center of the plan at all times throughout the day.

By 6pm they had found another 2. After the initial astonishment, the Police and later a team of Archaeologists were brought in who thankfully identified the remains as being of Roman origin. After a period of intense excavation, it was confirmed as a site of Archaeological importance when further evidence of Roman burials and defensive fortifications were uncovered, including the discovery of a rare Roman burial urn. Once the site was cleared of artefacts and the bodies taken to the local museum for research, work on the building could continue. These ancient findings further added to the already rich historical context of the property situated in the town of Winchester, the old Roman capital of England. The project was to convert the original servants’ quarters of the large Manor House that overlooked the surrounding grasslands. It was built by the Earl of Airlie in 1856 while he served as Camp Commandant at the nearby Peninsular Barracks military base and split into two more modestly sized dwellings in the 1950s. Since then, the servants’ quarters had fallen into a state of disrepair after the unfortunate passing of a sole elderly owner. It remained vacant for a number of years, until the long-time occupants of the Manor House sought to retire and move into the more manageable servants’ quarters and turn it into their dream home. The owner’s love of glass fuelled their brief to construct a beautifully simple sculptural glass staircase and a contemporary glass extension, situated at the rear of the property in the space created by the ‘C’ shape of the building, which would open itself up to the garden. The couple approached AR Design Studio Chartered Architects because of their experience in dealing with glass architecture and their interest in how this material can be used to create seamless relationships between inside and outside space, between the man-made and nature. www.ardesignstudio.co.uk PAGE22.indd 1 04/07/2013 13:51 ‡� *HUPDQ�PDGH�FDVVHWWH�DZQLQJV ‡� ,WDOLDQ�PDGH�IROGLQJ�DUP�DZQLQJV ‡� $ZQLQJV�RYHU��P�SURMHFWLRQV ‡� 3HUJROD�DZQLQJV ‡� )UHH�VWDQGLQJ�DZQLQJV ‡� +LJK�TXDOLW\�ZDWHU�UHVLVWDQW�IDEULFV�IURP�',&.621��3$5$�DQG� 5(&$6(16 ‡� 7H[W�DQG�ORJR�ZULWLQJ�RQ�IDEULFV ‡� *URXS�UHPRWH�FRQWURO��VXQ�DQG�ZLQG�VHQVRUV��ZLUHOHVV�VZLWFKHV ‡� &HUWL¿�HG�E\ www.lamdablinds.co.uk www.lamdablinds.co.uk [email protected] Tel: 020 8573 4752 Fax: 020 8573 8175 Mob: 079 0862 6746 Unit 11 Tudor Works %HDFRQV¿�HOG�5RDG Hayes, Middlesex UB4 0SL PAGE23.indd 1 04/07/2013 13:52 A rc he te c h - Is su e 1 1 [P a g e 2 4] Demography and Architecture Innovative Solutions for Generations www.hewi.co.uk The highly acclaimed design of the HEWI products delivers outstanding visual appearance, together with excellent degrees of functionality.

Trained by Tommy Rayson and ridden by Captain Robert Petre at the first true Aintree Grand National race since 1940, after the Second World War, and the last to take place on a Friday, which had been the tradition since 1876. That weekend “Lovely Cottage” returned home to the small village of Headbourne Worthy, near Winchester. He received a hero’s welcome before settling in for a well-earned rest in the stables at the Manor House where he was housed. These stables, that were once beautiful and functioning have since remained unused and have fallen into a state of dilapidation. Fortunately, this Grade 2 listed stable block, steeped in poignant historical character and narrative was not forgotten. It has been transformed into an elegant and contemporary 3 bedroom family home by RIBA award winning architects AR Design Studio. Practice Director, Andy Ramus, discovered this piece of overlooked historical heritage while undertaking a large scale refurbishment at the Manor House and immediately recognised its potential. The team at AR could see past its existing rundown state. There was a clear potential to create a sophisticated, contemporary family home within the historical context of the building and the picturesque Hampshire countryside. The history and character of the Stable’s was very much a driving force in design and there is a firm belief at AR Design Studio that design constraints and restrictions can often create the most interesting solutions. The concept was to preserve the existing while making any new additions simple and pure in order to let the original character shine. This results in an innovative arrangement of spaces according to the Stable’s existing layout, in order to maintain many of the existing exposed timber interior walls. These were then cleaned, stripped back and refurbished to reveal an exquisite amount of detailing and craftsmanship. Architect Andy Ramus AR Design Studio, Winchester, UK www.ardesignstudio.co.uk Completion - March 2013 PAGE26.indd 1 05/07/2013 09:50 PAGE27.indd 1 04/07/2013 13:55 With the existing internal walls brought back to life, the next task was to turn the Stables into a home for the modern family and bring it into the present day. In order to respect the character of the property a clean, contemporary and neutral approach was taken to the rest of the renovation which juxtaposes perfectly with the original timber walls, allowing them to stand out as pieces of art against a beautifully simple contemporary backdrop. Many of the existing features were refurbished and re-purposed for use in the home environment; the original horse troughs were cleaned and converted for use as sink basins, the old horse ties act as towel rings in the bathrooms and original doors are preserved where possible to give a sense of real period character. The Stables benefits from 3 large double bedrooms, with 2 en suite rooms to accompany a spacious family bathroom. Being a single storey property with long continuous views, the layout was tailored and split between sleeping and living accommodation with a single constant circulation running through the entire building. The welcoming and spacious open-plan kitchen dining area is conveniently located at the heart of the home, leading into the light and roomy lounge which benefits from full height glazed doors that open out onto the sleepy village setting. The entire property is super insulated, and the heated polished concrete floor throughout provides a functional uniformity to the spaces as well as recounting the Stable’s agricultural history. New windows and roof lights fitted throughout give the whole place a warm, bright and clean feel; creating an excellent environment as a backdrop for a family home. The finished Stables is completely transformed from its existing dilapidated condition and is now a perfectly working family home, bursting with contemporary style juxtaposed against delightful period character.

MACO set the benchmark for protecting fittings and has maintained its place at the forefront of technology with the revolutionary Tricoat surface finish, which remains unsurpassed. Unlike other products, MACO has not relied solely on using existing materials, such as stainless steel, it recognised that every part of the product had to be protected with a coating that is resilient in the most demanding environments. Bi-metallic corrosion and leakage of acid from timber frames are no longer a problem, as the Tricoat finish protects the entire fitting. In an increasingly chemical-laden environment, MACO Tricoat has such high corrosion resistance that it is the first choice for housing in densely populated areas. The coating not only prevents rusting and corrosion, but the fine particles that make up the outer layer are scratch- resistant and have the added advantage of repelling dirt and water. Damaging elements literally run off the surface, reducing the need for cleaning and prolonging the effective lifespan of the product. Wherever the best finish is required, the 15-year MACO Protect guarantee ensures lasting results.

From washrooms and interior fit-outs to exhibition stands and furniture, this innovative, secret fixing is a must have for fitters, designers and architects alike! What is Button-fix and how does it work? The concept is simple: the Button is attached to one surface and the Fix to the other. When the two parts are brought together they fit with a satisfying click. Button-fix is designed to be incredibly strong and has been tested and certified by the independent test house, Sandberg. Easy to fix the in the first place, it also allows the panels to be removable and reconfigurable at a later date. There are two types of Fix depending on your specific application. The Type 1 Fix can be either surface-mounted or rebated and engages with a vertical or sideways sliding action. This version is ideal for applications where load bearing is paramount. The Type 2 Fix connects panels at 90˚ with a simple push/pull assembly and is ideal for applications where the emphasis is on ease of fit rather than strength. The range also includes marker tools and other accessories to make fitting the Button-fix more accurate, easy and safe. Button-fix also have their own in-house technical team and associated workshop for offering advice and continued testing and development. To better understand which type is best for your application, please visit www.button-fix.com. You will also find a number of blogs www.button-fix.com/blog/ with accompanying photography for real projects where Button-fix has been used. As you can see the applications are varied in industry and purpose, with customers finding new uses for Button-fix all the time. For example, Button-fix has been used to make the fit-out of a fast food restaurant really fast. It has also been used to hold acoustic wall panels in a recording studio. One manufacturer is integrating the fixing into several of their washroom systems, used in demanding environments such as airports and schools. Another uses Button-fix’s ease of assembly to make their prestigious office furniture quicker to install on site. The popularity of Button-fix has been such that it is now being specified by architects and designers and requested by the fitters carrying out the installations. This means there is now a mutually accepted synergy between those specifying the fixing product and those using it, resulting in time- and cost- savings as well as a happier project team. Button-fix now have a number of distributors in the UK, Canada and the USA with more to be announced over the next few months.

Bring a luxurious look and feel to your interior scheme. Renaissance Fair Seas Oceanic Calypso Arcadia Horizon Legacy Galileo Aurora Through extensive research, sourcing and testing, we have introduced a bamboo fl ooring system that meets the EN14904 standard specifi c for sports fl oor and dance use. Bamboo is an attractive alternative to wood fl ooring but has the added benefi ts of being eco-friendly, sustainable and durable in addition to being resistant to insects and moisture. Bamboo has received hardness (strength) ratings higher than many hardwoods. This means it “bounces back” after most impacts and doesn’t dent. This resilience is also better for the feet and back of users since the fl oor will tend to “give” slightly. www.britishfl ooring.co.im enquiries@britishfl ooring.co.im Global carpet innovator Milliken is launching its new Light Trails collection. Inspired by the photographic light eff ects caused by the speed and movement of traffi c against a night sky, Light Trails brings a vibrant new colour direction to Milliken’s portfolio. Light Trails features vivid punctuated lines of bright and even neon colour cutting across the darkness of a night black or dusk grey background to create a collection of powerful contrasts and fascinating illusions. As luminous highlights contrast with the subtly textured background the overall design eff ect is powerful and complex. Colours include Zest lime, Neon orange, Rosso red, Glamour pink, Titanium white and Turbo yellow. The collection off ers the perfect solution for designers seeking to create impact by bringing small quantities of bright accent colour into a corporate environment. Light Trails is supplied in 457mm tile format and is produced using high- performance ECONYL® yarn with 100% regenerated nylon. The collection also includes Comfort Plus® cushion backing with 90% recycled content.

On the other hand, Chimneys used on solid fuel applications must also be capable of withstanding a JOPTUL`�ÄYL�� Schiedel Absolut represents a comprehensive solution to the 4 main challenges raised by modern heating technology JVTIPULK�^P[O�[OL�SH[LZ[�LULYN`�LMÄJPLU[�I\PSKPUN� techniques. CHALLENGE 1 - Condensation forming on the chimney block. If external temperatures are very cold, then moisture from the surrounding air can turn to condensation on the surface of the block, leading to damp spots, mould and a possible risk to health ensues. The Absolut system employs a core of foam concrete as insulation in the blocks that form the shaft, ensuring that block surface temperatures remain above the critical dew point. CHALLENGE 2 - Heat transmission to the outside of the building via the chimney block. The top and bottom of the chimney are the two most sensitive areas, when it comes to heat transmission between the warm interior of the house and the cold L_[LYPVY��;OL�(IZVS\[�Z`Z[LT�OHZ�ZWLJPÄJHSS`�KLZPNULK� thermal insulation blocks to prevent this heat transmission. CHALLENGE 3 - The supply of air to the appliance in an air tight house. ;OL�TVKLYU�OV\ZL�PZ�LMÄJPLU[S`�ZLHSLK�HNHPUZ[�KYHM[Z��^OPJO� means that combustion air has to be brought directly to the appliance. The Absolut system has an integrated air shaft which supplies the appliance with the right amount of air it needs for combustion, drawn directly from above the roof, minimising problems due to prevailing winds.

From polished and satin brass trims to cushions with golden embroidery, her favourite hue brightens the ambiance with lightness and sophistication. The classic loop-shaped clasp found on Her Majesty’s iconic little black handbag also provided inspiration for the designers. This motif has been incorporated into the rooms’ ironmongery, with bespoke drawer pulls and door handles forged into this shape as well as the brass nailhead pattern on the doors. Exquisite details such as these are what create the Royal Suite’s abundant sense of luxury. The library has been imagined to be a place where The Queen diligently pursued her duties. HBA London PAGE65.indd 1 04/07/2013 15:53 Honouring both her respect for the past and her commitment to keeping the royal institution relevant today, the interiors blend the classic with the contemporary.

It was an intuitive purchase, with no preconceived idea of how the existing or potential accommodation might be arranged or treated. Her executive lifestyle was characterized by travel, long hours and hotel living. Respite came from regular visits to her family home on the south coast. When asked how she might wish to live in the house, she volunteered that she actually had no idea. The story of the building is as much an investigation into aspirations and lifestyle as of formal architectural development. The Site Occupying a narrow burgage plot, the existing building is a 17th century double-fronted two and a half storey Grade II Listed terraced house in the Eton Conservation Area. With a frontage onto Eton High Street it is also located in a Á�RRG�SODLQ��ZLWK�D�SURWHFWHG�WUHH�WR�WKH�UHDU�� $�VHULHV�RI �JURXQG�Á�RRU�DGGLWLRQV�KDG��IURP� c19 expanded the building virtually to the rear access road, which also serves a 1960s four-storey EORFN�RI �Á�DWV��2ULJLQDOO\�D�GZHOOLQJ��E\�WKH�WLPH� of the 1901 census it had become the Three Lilies Coffee Tavern. Subsequently, it formed part of a girls’ boarding school and, in 1923, the Eton Antique Book Shop, before reverting to residential use in the late c20. By the time of purchase, the property was in an extremely poor state of repair. The Brief The basic brief was to refurbish the principal building with minor extensions and to explore how the clearance of the rear additions could open up new opportunities. The site was effectively a long, deep building, with a busy high street to the front, and, to the rear, no light, limited garden space and privacy issues, SDUWLFXODUO\�WKH�EORFN�RI �Á�DWV�GLUHFWO\�RYHUORRNLQJ� the site. 87 High Street Eton PAGE70.indd 1 04/07/2013 15:55 The Design With no real external aspect, a double-courtyard scheme was developed. The smaller courtyard is enclosed by the listed buildings and the new Lounge and it provides light and aspect to the rear of the principal building. The larger courtyard is the main private outdoor amenity space. Thanks to the coach house, it is not RYHUORRNHG�E\�WKH�EORFN�RI �Á�DWV�DQG�IRUPV� the principal aspect for the main living spaces. With privacy achieved, a transparent treatment of spaces was possible, which allowed long views and physical links through the house and courtyards. Light and transparency is emphasised by the minimal lines of the sliding doors and the frameless triple glazing. Forming the largest room in the house, the new Lounge introduces the theme of the ¶Á�RDWLQJ·�URRI �ZLWK�WKH�UDLVHG�Á�DW�URRI �UHVWLQJ� on a horizontal strip of frameless triple glazing, combining light with privacy. The lounge opens onto to the large courtyard and connects to the annex via a frameless glass semi-external link. The fully glazed double-height Garden Room of the Annex acts both as conservatory and lobby to a mezzanine suite, located over the double JDUDJH��6LPLODUO\�FKDUDFWHUL]HG�E\�LWV�Á�RDWLQJ�URRI�� privacy and exposure is controlled by a mixture of manual and automatic blinds, including an external brise-soleil. Smaller, openable windows afford random views. Getting Planning Approval As the project design was developed, it was expected that a planning consent for the very rear of the site would be sensitive. In order that the client could occupy at least part of the property, planning approval for the refurbishment to the principal building and for the new attached Lounge was obtained, but a parallel application for the coach house, designed as an Annex to the rear of the property, was refused on WKH�JURXQGV�WKDW�LW�ZDV�¶WRR�PRGHUQ·��$�PRUH� traditional scheme was then submitted and this gained approval, thus allowing a two-storey unit to the rear of the plot. The modern proposals were then re-visited with the planners and, after lengthy negotiations, approval was granted for the current building. Key to this was the need to comfortably set the new building in the conservation area. This was achieved through WKH�XVH�RI �&RUWHQ�FODGGLQJ�WR�WKH�XSSHU�Á�RRU�� a modern sustainable and maintenance-free material, with its rust hues blending in with the surrounding tiled roofscape.

If a luminaire does need replacing, in house personnel can carry out the operation as the system operates via low voltage (40V) cabling. So how much can be saved?

EQUITONE [natura] provided the hall with a decorative, tactile, smooth surface that allows the natural variegation of the fibre cement finish to be seen through the semi-translucent coating, providing an aesthetically pleasing and practical finish. The vision for Sir Robert Woodard Academy was to create six small schools within a school, known as ‘Chapters,’ to accommodate 1,200 pupils. The chapters are housed in six projecting two-storey mono-pitch wings with a central mini-barbican area which uses complex geometrical shaping to create a dramatic entrance to the academy. The wedge shaped atrium was designed to ‘shine out’ to act as a beacon for the Academy’s values. EQUITONE HELPS CREATE FACADE INSPIRED BY WAR OF THE WORLDS Pupils and staff have moved into the Marley Eternit fibre cement EQUITONE clad £32m BREEAM ‘Very Good’ Shoreham Academy in West Sussex. Architecture PLB specified a combination of Marley Eternit’s EQUITONE architectural fibre cement facade materials including [natura], [pictura] and [textura] to provide the building with a striking aesthetic inspired by H G Wells’ The War of the Worlds. EQUITONE brings together the Marley Eternit ranges [natura], [tectiva], [pictura] and [textura] to give these architectural materials an identity that is recognised as the material of choice to achieve appealing and inspiring buildings. Fibre cement EQUITONE [pictura] has a beautiful, hard, smooth, matt surface with an additional surface treatment that offers good protection against many types of staining, including graffiti produced by common aerosol, providing a long term low maintenance solution for Shoreham Academy.

New customer Neil Harris, Contracts Manager, i.t.care said “Working with Cooper Security has been an invaluable success, their products and service is second to none. Their dedicated Specifi cation Advisory team has been instrumental regarding the installation of security systems for our clients. A recent requirement for a wireless PA system presented some unique challenges due to the building structure. The layout and construction of the building was made from reinforced concrete and steel sheeting, not preferable for a wireless PA system. The consultant carried out a thorough radio site survey with our engineers, and from that we were able to install the system with confi dence and in a timely manner. In addition to working on joint projects, the recent CPD presentation also proved to be very informative and time well spent.” Continual Professional Development (CPD) - How Intruder Alarms Work - CIBSE and RIBA Approved Seminars The Intruder Alarms Seminar provides an understanding of what an alarm is including basic hardwired systems, radio and hybrid.

Screen Plus has developed a huge range of exciting screens over the past 28 years for a client list that include world renowned names such as British Airways, Marks and Spencer, John Lewis, BAA, Lloyds, BNP Paribas, Caledonian Hotel group. Many of the designs were developed in response to clients specifi c requirements and included timbers, glass, stainless steel, brass, laminates, fabrics and upholstery. In its UK manufacturing facility for quality and environmental controls. In the Offi ce, retail, hotel, sport and leisure markets, Screen Plus screens can be used front-of-house to provide a personalised introduction and branding. Likewise, they can be used as directional fl ow furniture (guiding clients to particular areas) or to defi ne a certain area. In restaurants, the screens can be used to add a cosier feel by removing the ‘dining room’ appearance. In fact, by replacing the feel of a large empty room with a more individual environment, caterers can improve their profi ts because customers tend to stay longer and spend more, especially if alone. On a similar point, screens can be used to defi ne work stations, conference facilities or hide services within the offi ce or reception environment to name but a few. As the name implies, Screen Plus’ screens are designed to off er Architects, Interior designers and Managers with a screening solution that is elegant in its simplicity. Full details available at: www.screenplus.co.uk For that all important personalised look, Screen Plus’ UK manufacturing and fi nishing technology allows the addition of logo’s and images on any surface. Combined with timber, glass, aluminium, stainless steel, laminates, fabric and wallpapers. Screen Plus products can off er bespoke features, critical for branding exercises. Screen Plus’ Sales Manager, Carolyn Keeley, said: “Screens bring a room together. Along with combining elements, such as wall paper and curtains, screens provide the ambience that makes a room feel and look like a professional has designed the concept: all this without the added expense of changing the whole décor. Screens also off er the ‘feel good factor’ especially when natural timber products are used which soften the overall feel.” Off ering a personal service from start to fi nish, a dedicated Screen Plus Sales Executive, manages each project from concept to delivered goods.

Mark Fisher of agents Tuckerman said ‘The accommodation created by Kalkwarf Architects was of such a high standard, that it competed with, and beat, similar buildings in Mayfair. The rental level achieved was the highest for Victoria at that time. Tenants relocated out of the West End core to benefi t from the highest quality space at lower overall costs. “ Led by Leon Kalkwarf and specialsing in luxury, high end residential & commercial development, Kalkwarf Architects boasts unparalleled knowledge of Victoria and is leading the charge to make the area a “destination venue” and not simply “somewhere to pass through.” The area around Victoria station was designated an ‘Opportunity Area’ in the Mayor’s London Plan and City of Westminster’s Local Development Framework Adopted Core Strategy of January 2011. Leon Kalkwarf explains; “At 46- 48 Grosvenor Gardens, we’ve transformed an otherwise unloved, almost derelict, Grade II listed building. The site now boasts a 23,000sq.ft, state of the art, offi ce complex together with 3 luxury, residential apartments . Our client, Medici Asset Management recognised the opportunity and it’s been a priviledge to work with them on this splendid development.” Justin Bottaro of Medici Asset Management “I have known Leon for roughly ten years now and as a developer I have to say the most valuable element of our relationship has to be his ability to interpret and bring to life my idea’s and objectives for a development rather than being overbearing with his ideas instead. There is always a place for professional advice and support however the ability to truly hear what your client is saying and trying to achieve is often a gift in creative circles.” For more information visit www.kalkwarf-architects.com PAGE89.indd 1 04/07/2013 17:19 Timber Expo is ramping up for an expanded show at the Birmingham NEC this September. It will be two days brimming with the latest products, innovations and developments across the timber sector – not just from the UK but from an increasingly diverse international market. With only three months to go before the doors open, here are the Top Ten essential highlights not to miss. Exhibition Floor & International Content A huge range of companies from all four corners of the timber industry will be unveiling their latest products and services plus giving advice on how best to use the construction industry’s leading mainstream low carbon building material. Overseas exhibitors include organisations from Austria, Bolivia, Finland, Germany, Ghana, Italy, Latvia, Malaysia, Poland, Russia, Spain and Sweden. Timber Talks A key element to the show and a central part of the Expo experience. The philosophy behind the free seminar sessions is to provide a valuable learning experience based around case studies delivered by industry experts. The Timber Talks programme has been developed by TRADA with themes and specific topics based on fresh market research and feedback from the 2012 event. The seminars will take place in two bespoke theatres designed, developed and delivered especially for Timber Expo. Timber Buyers Forum Sponsored by Vandecasteele, these 30 minute appointments are acknowledged as one of the successful and dynamic parts of the show giving attendees a perfect way to build business relationships in a formal but relaxed environment. The Forum’s primary aim is for exhibitors to access relevant buyers and match suppliers wants with the Buyer’s preferences. Careers in Timber Area While there continues to be a drive for higher skills levels everywhere in the timber and construction sectors, these skills are constantly changing. Hosted by ARV Solutions, pop in to see what your options are either for moving job, changing career path or securing the best calibre new employee. Wood Awards Shortlist 2013 The Wood Awards is the UK’s premier award in the timber sector and will once again recognise outstanding design, craftsmanship and installations in wood that have taken place over the last 12 months. The 2013 shortlist will be unveiled and on show throughout Timber Expo and you will be able to hear more about the projects in the Timber Talks programme. Media Centre Sponsored by SCA Timber Supply UK, the Media Centre will be a central port of call to pick up press info, tweet your latest scoop, conduct interviews and soak up news from across the show. “The 2013 show is shaping up to be tremendous in every way,” said Timber Expo Event Director, Loretta Sales “The show is nearly 80% sold out with an expected 170 companies exhibiting this year. The move to the NEC has grabbed everybody’s attention and will make exhibiting and visiting very easy indeed. The content we have lined up is superb. TRADA have really pulled the stops out with the Timber Talks seminar programme and there will be something to appeal to everyone. The big boost for 2013 has been the level of overseas interest. Alongside an expanding European scene we are now hosting trade pavilions too. You won’t find this much timber technology anywhere else.” Timber Expo will take place at the NEC, Birmingham, 24-25 September 2013 For more information visit: www.timber-expo.co.uk or email: [email protected] The Best In Sustainable Construction And Innovation A rc he te c h - Is su e 1 1 [P a g e 9 0] PAGE90.indd 1 04/07/2013 17:19 Temere Ventus Novum Linea www.bcltimberprojects.co.uk BCL Alpha Panels ‘Class A’ acoustic timber systems BCL Alpha panels provide some of the highest acoustic performance VU�[OL�THYRL[�[VKH �`�;OL�VWLU�JVUÄ�N\YHISL�Z`Z[LT�HSSV^Z�HYJOP[LJ[Z� to tailor its design to their needs and create beautiful panel designs, choosing from over 2500+ species and colour combinations.
