As one of the big 5 fenestration systems houses in the UK, our products feature in buildings nationwide. Take a look at some of our favourite projects recently completed in London and the South East.

Whatever the sector, Senior have a superb range of energy efficient products to suit every project. From our popular SF52 curtain wall to our patented PURe® range of ultra energy efficient windows and doors and everything in between, you’ll find innovative designs that focus on thermal efficiency, ease of fabrication and of course, aesthetics.

Mark Rossouw, our architectural advisor for London and the South East – who has recently been awarded an MSc in Façade Engineering – has worked hard to establish good relationships with architects and main contractors, whilst our National Specification Manager Andrew Cooper has secured supply chain agreements with some of the leading building contractors in the South East.

Together with John Ward, our technical Sales Manager for the South they form a winning team and the following projects, secured for Senior and our network of fabricators and installers, are the result of their hard work. If you would like to join our winning team of fabricators and installers please contact us.

Reading Girls’ School – Reading

Reading Girls School

Designed by Maber Architects, Reading Girls’ School in Berkshire features Senior’s patented low U-value PURe® aluminium casement windows throughout the two, three-storey high teaching blocks. Competitively priced compared to standard aluminium windows, the innovative PURe® system benefits from an enhanced thermal barrier manufactured from expanded polyurethane foam (PUR) and was able to achieve U-values lower than required by the project team.
In addition, thermally enhanced SF52 curtain walling was used to create the school’s main entrance area and atrium. Built under the supply chain agreement between Interserve and Senior, Reading Girls’ School is part of a wider scheme to create seven new secondary schools across Hertfordshire.

James Dyson Building – Cambridge

James Dyson

Funded by an £8 million donation from British inventor, designer and engineer James Dyson, this new hub for innovation and invention at the University of Cambridge’s Department of Engineering was designed by Nicholas Hare Architects.

A key part of the building envelope is Senior’s SF52 curtain wall system. The individual SF52 units were fabricated off site, and then craned into place fully glazed to reduce on-site time. This enabled main contractor Morgan Sindall (with whom Senior has an established trading agreement) to meet the tight completion deadlines.

Trumpington College – Cambridge

Designed by Avanti Architects, the new school is based on the Danish school model, which encourages large open plan and unstructured teaching areas.

Built under the supply chain agreement between Morgan Sindall and Senior the college is positioned around a central atrium that maximises the flow of natural light. The L shaped building features Senior’s thermally efficient SCW+ and SF52 curtain walling, SPW 300 aluminium tilt and turn windows, together with SPW501 aluminium commercial doors – ideal for high traffic environments.

To meet the school’s sustainable design criteria, Senior’s thermally efficient SF52 structural silicone glazed curtain walling system was installed to the entrances to the school and sports centre building and along the elevation that houses the kitchen and dining areas.

Berry Court – Bournemouth

Designed by Bright Space Architects, Berry Court reflects the art deco heritage of Bournemouth with clean horizontal banding and sweeping curves. A comprehensive fenestration package from Senior Architectural systems was specified, comprising thermally efficient SPW600e windows and PURe® sliding patio doors for the apartments, plus SF52 curtain walling and SPW501 commercial doors for the main building, and makes the most of the stunning views over both the town and out to sea.

Collaboration was an integral part of the creation of Berry Court. The development was delivered by Bournemouth Development Company, a joint venture between Bournemouth Borough Council and Morgan Sindall with whom Senior has an established trading agreement.

Williamson Heights – Wembley

Williamson Heights, Wembley

This mixed-use development constructed by Formation Group PLC boasts 186 apartments, 15 commercial units, a basement car park and podium rooftop gardens for residents. Designed by Delta Architects the project consists of five residential blocks of varying heights adding interest to the skyline and offering far reaching views of Wembley Stadium and beyond.

The fenestration package worth over £3 million included Senior’s SPW600 Windows, SPW600 Commercial Doors and SF52 Curtain Walling.
