Completed in 2018, the Keybridge Phase development in Vauxhall faced challenges in achieving high thermal performance while maintaining aesthetic and structural integrity. Crystal Units supplied C.U.in glazing, renowned for its superior thermal efficiency and minimal thickness. Installed by OCL using Reynaers systems, this innovative glazing solution met energy performance goals and seamlessly integrated with the architectural design.
This year, we collaborated with AumAxum on Quarry House, designed by A-Zero Architects to achieve net-zero energy ratings. The challenge was meeting thermal performance requirements, leading us to use Schüco systems and Passivhaus design methods. With quadruple glazing and our unique suspended film technology, we achieved a U-value of 0.2 W/m²K, ensuring high insulation, acoustic benefits, and reduced energy usage.
Challenge: The Hands Building student accommodation has been designed to retain as much green space as possible using heat exchange and solar thermal technology for space heating. To ensure energy generation demand is kept as low as possible, very high thermal performance was a requirement for the building fabric.
Make One Group excels in complex construction and refurbishment projects, including high-profile developments like Koko + The Hope & Anchor in Camden, London. Their expertise in delivering intricate renovations has been recognized with awards such as Venue of the Year at The Live Awards 2023.
