Background

Previously an ex-MOD Property, Royal Arthur Park in Corsham, Wiltshire, Wadswick Green was conceived over ten years ago as a completely new way of living for the over 60s.

The Luxury Retirement Village has been created as a space of well-being, providing high quality care and a range of excellent services for individuals in Created for residents over 60 who want a certain degree of luxury and assurance of quality.

Onsite facilities which make this unique in the area include a spa and swimming pool, high quality restaurant, salon and assisted living provisions. When complete, the village will comprise more than 200 luxury apartments, over 11 different buildings set in beautiful parkland.

Brief

The client and architect were specifically looking to specify a timber aluminium glazing system which would not only be aesthetically appealing, high quality and thermally efficient, but also provide elderly residents with ease of use, level thresholds, accessible operation and which would be easy to maintain for site operatives.

Buying Drivers

Having had some problems with other composite window suppliers on the site previously, the client were keen to specify a system which would meet the brief above, and which could be delivered to an exacting programme and budget.

Accommodating & Collaborative

“We recently worked with Internorm UK at the early design stage of a 91-home residential development in London. The project required high-performance timber-aluminium composite windows and doors that would minimise heating demand, optimally balance solar gain in winter and light transmission throughout the year, and achieve the required high acoustic performance.  Internorm were able to accommodate all the requirements of this complex project while maintaining the crisp and uniform aesthetics we were looking for. The collaboration has been instrumental in finding the balance between design, performance and cost.”
