38 Hans Crescent

Waverley worked with OD Group on this high profile office fit out project in a prime location.

The Location

38 Hans Crescent is a development in a prominent corner location, designed by PDP London for Ropemaker Properties / BP Pension Funds.  It provides 5 floors of flexible office space over 2 floors of retail, and the bold contemporary design uses brick, terracotta, glass and steel to integrate it sympathetically within the surrounding conservation area.  The building is situated directly opposite Harrods department store and just a few steps from Knightsbridge Underground Station.

The Requirement

This fit out project was on Floors 2 and 3 at 38 Hans Crescent, providing offices and associated amenities for a global chemical corporation.

The interior designer and the client required roller blinds to external windows, with concealment of as many fixtures and fittings as possible and with maintenance of the street view.

The Solution

Waverley manufactured and installed ShadeTech® RBL-C roller blinds to all windows, including the office’s gym.

The ShadeTech® range of fascias, cassettes and ceiling pockets provides an easy and highly effective solution to the request for concealment. White powder coated aluminium cassettes were used to conceal fixing brackets and roller tubes.

The blinds were made using Betascreen® 90 fabric. The light colour reduces heat whilst allowing a good degree of filtered natural daylight, creating a comfortable, light and airy ambience.

The Outcome

When the blinds are not in use, the white powder coated aluminium cassettes blend in with the white painted ceiling, not distracting from the clean lines and contemporary interior decor.

The BetaScreen 90 fabric in 3% openness not only cuts heat and glare but also maintains a view of the outside.  With an enviable street view from these offices, this enhances the environment for users and visitors in the workspace.

We were able to manufacture and install the blinds to a short lead time.  As our ShadeTech blinds are made in-house in our own manufacturing facility, Waverley can control the entire process and fast-track projects to suit the time constraints of the office fit-out sector.
