We consulted with Make and with Multiplex, who have taken on this part of the development, to create an entrance that was consistent with the bronze curtain walling and architectural features. This consisted of a very tall revolving door, which is a unique and commanding visual feature, and internal partitioning speed gates. All of this was constructed with toughened, laminated glass sections and anodised aluminium bronze framework that is entirely consistent and visually identical to the bronze finish specified throughout the development.
The work on the revolving door was complicated slightly with the design of a light and air curtain above the door, which demanded that we engineer an entirely unique solution that is visually unobtrusive but in practical terms entirely effective.
