Style recently revolutionised the new London offi ce of global law fi rm, Barker McKenzie, with the installation of multiple moveable wall systems. The project enhances space fl exibility in a multifunction area and on the terrace fl oor which boasts expansive city views. In the space, Style installed three Skyfold vertically rising walls and a Dorma Huppe Varifl ex ComfortDrive glazed wall. This innovative combination creates a self-contained room in an open plan area and is the fi rst time Style has used Skyfolds to abut the ends of a glass moveable wall, with a third Skyfold further dividing the space. On level 11, a semi-automatic Dorma Huppe glazed wall transforms the terrace area into a private dining or meeting space, without obstructing the vista. Elsewhere, Style installed two more glazed Varifl ex moveable walls and three solid Varifl ex walls, enhancing the adaptability of the company’s meeting suites, making this a truly adaptable offi ce. The Skyfolds in the conference room offer phenomenal 60 dB acoustic ratings whilst the glazed moveable walls provide a 52 dB rating, ensuring meetings and client functions can take place in complete privacy when the walls are in place.

Buildings_DEdit.indd 1 The Broadway benefi ts from invisible access automation
The Broadway is a mixed-use development in Westminster, London. Contributing to the beautifully presented interior, TORMAX was contracted by Focchi Ltd to deliver invisible automation to over forty swing door entrances, concealing their advanced iMotion 1401 operator into the fl oor space below each door. “Where aesthetics is a high priority, such as at The Broadway, our invisible automation for swing doors helps maintain clean and contemporary lines within a room,” said Simon Roberts, managing director for TORMAX UK Ltd. “In addition to our underfl oor operator, we offer a door drive that can be concealed within the lintel above the door.” Making it entirely practicable to position the door drives out of sight, the iMotion motor is uniquely designed without any of the parts that regularly wear out, requiring only minimal servicing and maintenance. “The Broadway showcases the iMotion 1401 underfl oor operator in a wide variety of locations,” comments Roberts. “Many of the retail units benefi t from TORMAX automated swing doors, with operators being installed elsewhere, from in the residential areas right through to the cycle store.”

Buildings_DEdit.indd 1 Gilberts energises the workplace environment for global property company
The expansion, reconfi guration and refurbishment of the London headquarters of a global real estate company has created a workplace fi t for the future with wellbeing for people and planet at its heart. The 1990s offi ce block re-work has attained BREEAM Excellent and WELL Platinum. DBA Air Solutions supplied Gilberts’ grilles and diffusers for use across the 10 fl oors of the 144,500 ft2
that form the workspace. Throughout the
spaces, Gilberts GSL linear slot diffusers, predominantly in four-slot confi guration, have been installed in bulkheads to deliver fresh air, directing the airfl ow horizontally or vertically as required by each location. Gilberts’ GECA eggcrate grilles extract the used air. Gilberts’ GSFE circular swirl diffusers provide fresh air and extract stale air through the exposed ceiling-mounted building services into the offi ce areas. The high air change rates achieved by the GSFE’s are integral to maintaining the indoor air quality and to the attainment of the WELL Platinum categorisation. Gilberts’ GHV double defl ection grilles complement the air distribution, providing both supply and extraction.
