The former Mardyke Estate in Rainham, east London, has undergone a substantial transformation to make way for a new residential development, Orchard Village.
Circle Housing has invested £80million to redevelop the old housing estate, creating 555 new homes to meet local affordable housing needs.
Designed by PRP Architects and developed in its entirety by Willmott Dixon, the project specified AluK aluminium curtain walling, window and door systems throughout all four phases, three of which have been completed.
To meet security requirements, all windows and doors complied to the Secured By Design (SBD) initiative, with the GT55 TB commercial door systems integrating electric strike access with key fob entry. The AluK GT55 TB is believed to be the first aluminium commercial door system to be SBD accredited.
The AluK systems specified have slim sightlines and profile sizing to meet bespoke design requirements. The aluminium profiles are thermally broken, providing the homes with energy efficiency qualities that comfortably exceed the current Building Regulations Part L1A minimum U-Value of 2.00 W/m2K.
