Senior Architectural Systems has supplied a full fenestration package for a new mixed use scheme in Newcastle, providing a combination of its aluminium windows, curtain wall and door solutions.
Created as part of the wider regeneration of the former industrial area of Ouseburn Valley, Lower Steenberg’s Yard is a four-storey development comprising ground floor commercial office space and 28 residential apartments on the floors above.
Benefiting from stunning riverside views of the Ouseburn, a small tributary of the River Tyne, the scheme has been designed by Xsite Architecture and constructed by Esh Construction for developers PfP igloo.
The architectural style of Lower Steenberg’s Yard has been informed by both the neighbouring Victorian-era industrial buildings and Scandinavian design elements.
As a result, clean lines and the extensive use of natural light are key features of the scheme. This has been achieved using Senior’s slimline aluminium fenestration systems which have been fabricated and installed by Crown Doors and Shutters.
Each of the apartments feature Senior’s low U-value Pure aluminium windows, specified as triple-glazed tilt and turn style units.
Senior’s thermally-efficient Part L compliant Pure Slide compliant Pure Fold patio doors have also been installed to provide access to private terraces which overlook the river.
The ground floor retail units also benefit from Senior’s Pure casement aluminium windows, with slim profile SF52 aluminium curtain wall system to the main entrances. Senior’s SPW501 commercial doors have also been installed.
