Multi-functional space created for London Mission
Chinmaya Mission exists to provide individuals with the wisdom and practical means for personal growth and development, enabling them to become positive contributors to society. At Chinmaya Kirti, their home in London, a major renovation project was designed as a vision for future generations, rather than just an improved building. Working with architects, KJC, and contractor, Home Republic, Style was specifi ed to be part of that vision, installing moveable walls to enable one large space in the classroom/bookshop area to be easily converted into six multi- functional rooms based on daily requirements. A combination of multiple Dorma Hüppe Varifl ex Glass and Varifl ex solid semi-automatic moveable walls were agreed as the best solution, with the glass moveable walls providing a 52dB acoustic barrier and the solid wall 55dB. With a standard anodised aluminium frame fi nish to the glass walls, and a melamine fi nish to the solid walls, the fi nal installation provided a light and calm feel to the room design. “This is a great example of how using a combination of glass and solid moveable walls can transform how space is used” said Michael Porter, sales director for Style South.

Buildings_DPR.indd 1 Cathedral visitor centre easily accessed via TORMAX entrance
Creating a welcoming entrance to the new Lincoln Cathedral visitor centre, TORMAX has installed a set of two- leaf automatic swing doors, powered by invisible iMotion 1401 underfl oor operators. Set into a striking dark grey facade developed by AccentHansen, the automatic entrance is understated yet contemporary, providing the perfect complement to the Cathedral cloisters on one side and the Deanery on the other. Designed in-house at the TORMAX HQ in Switzerland, the iMotion 1401 door operators are concealed in steel casings set within the fl oorspace, delivering automation without the need for external operators. Invisible automation such as this is only possible thanks to the innovative iMotion motor which features none of the parts that usually wear out, such as gears and brushes, ensuring minimal maintenance and enhanced effi ciency in the long term. Demonstrating a commitment to detail, TORMAX was able to deliver an automatic entrance that provides clear access for all users, whilst avoiding the addition of aesthetically incongruous, modern door operators.“Our iMotion 1401 door drives have been installed successfully in period properties worldwide,” comments Simon Roberts, MD for TORMAX.

Buildings_D-Edit.indd 1 Vent-Axia welcomes new report
Vent-Axia has welcomed a report on infection resilient environments, by the National Engineering Policy Centre, which calls for a major upgrade of buildings to create healthier indoor environments. The report ‘Infection Resilient Environments: Time for a Major Upgrade’ reveals that infection control measures could save up to £23 billion a
year if there is another pandemic. Vent-Axia’s Lo-Carbon T-Series fans can provide background or purge ventilation and are easily fi tted to an existing window or through a wall, again these can be controlled by a range of sensors to manage the rooms ventilation requirements.
Gilberts protects environmental retrofi t
In the drive towards reducing carbon emissions, Cambridgeshire County Council is leading by example. It is actively working towards becoming net zero, as a result of diverse measures including a £16m Environmental Fund to convert all Council buildings to fossil-free heating by 2025. One of the latest buildings to benefi t from the Renewable Energy Retrofi t scheme is Scott House in Huntingdon, where an air heat source pump has been installed to service the three-storey Council offi ce block. To ensure the pump works at optimum effi ciency without disturbing the offi ce occupants or passers-by, leading independent air movement specialist Gilberts has designed and supplied a protective acoustic screen around the installation. Measuring 8.5 m x 5.7 m x 3.5 m, the screening effectively creates a box around the pump. The ALS30 single bank screen louvres provide fresh air to prevent over-heating, delivering 34% actual (50% visual) free ventilation area through the screen to the pump behind.
