One Crown Place One Crown Place

The eye-catching and intricate ground floor facade at One Crown Place is a superb scene-setter for its many upper levels, creating an inviting interface at street level.

It is a symphony of elegant solutions working together in perfect harmony to create that vital first impression as building occupants and the public approach the development.

Novastruct engaged with the design and build teams to create a statement multi-element ground floor facade.

The backbone of each element is the FSX 110 curtain wall, working in tandem with a steel support system to efficiently transfer loads, with the following key features:

• 6-metre vertical spans supporting 750kg doubleglazed panels
• Terracotta rainscreen infills
• Cantilevered glass canopies
• Integrated and hidden gutter system
• Feature band
• Continuous louvres

Precise geometry and uniformity in the mullions allowed the façade to seamlessly interface with the existing townhouses, helping to bridge the gap between Georgian heritage and modern construction.

This middle canopy detail exemplifies the highlyintegrated approach, supporting the attractive cantilevered glass overhang, the hidden gutter system and louvres.

With unrivalled experience across the globe,Novastruct is able to respond to the ambitions and aspirations of designers, matching that flair by offering practical solutions that ultimately create facades that are far greater than the sum of their components.

Nowhere is this better exemplified than at One Crown Place, where Novastruct has been able to offer seamless integration of its systems into the wider ground floor facade design in a way that not only significantly elevates aesthetics but which also promotes optimal efficiencies in terms of the effective function of the facade, particularly in the areas of maximising natural lighting and rainwater management and, more generally, high levels of protection against the external elements.
