Chiswick Park Building – B6

Project Focus: Chiswick Park – Building 6 & 7, West London

 

Chiswick Park is a West London business park of 23 buildings across a 33 acre site. It is widely considered the first people-centric office development in London, designed with as much emphasis on the people who use the space as the build itself.

With a lake, landscaping and open-air performance area, Chiswick Park received recognition for its role in establishing a new standard for workplaces, with high praise from David Attenborough who is quoted as saying: “It would be fabulous if everybody could work in a place as nice as this”.

Chiswick Park is now home to global brands, leading retail outlets, a gym and restaurants. PAD Contracts were appointed by Stanhope PLC to provide architectural metalwork services on this prestigious, game changing project.

 

PAD Contracts’ work on Chiswick Park – Building 6 & 7, West London

 

PAD Contracts were asked to design, manufacture and install exterior and interior staircases and balustrades in Buildings 6 & 7. Both the external and internal staircases were manufactured and finished off site, and lifted into position.

 

The stairs were supported from the two columns of the building structure by welded cantilever arms which carry the flights. The installation was completed by pinning the staircases back to the building through the cladding at each floor level.

The design of the grey external escape stairs reflected the distinctive contemporary identity of the overall design scheme. Coupled with the grey/blue balustrades, the stairs provide not only a safe and practical way to leave the building, but also a modern, clean look that is in-keeping with the rest of the site.

The sleek, industrial design of the internal staircases with steel handrails and nosing strips, and contemporary cable railings, was enhanced by the striking ochre coloured walls in the stairwell.

For outside Building 7 we designed, manufactured and installed a shaped glazed canopy over the sales kiosk.

 

Client satisfaction

 

PAD Contracts had worked previously for Stanhope PLC and Lend Lease on other London construction projects, and have been appointed again since this Chiswick Park project. We are delighted that such reputable names in the construction sector have the confidence in the quality and innovation of our architectural metalwork design, fabrication and installation services. We look forward to working with them again in the near future.
