Docklands in the frame thanks to Crittall
Story
Rex Preston PhotographyCrittall windows have been used to frame a spectacular London docklands view promoting a prestigious new residential and leisure development for the capital.
When Ballymore Property Group needed state-of-the-art glazing for the marketing suite promoting their London City Island development they turned to D&R Design who provided the perfect solution using large Crittall W20 steel doors and screens.
Four large double-glazed screens incorporating double doors were installed in the converted dockside warehouse with an uninterrupted view across the Thames to the O2 arena and Canary Wharf.
“The sleek lines of Crittall’s narrow W20 profiles provide the perfect view whilst protecting the suite from the River Thames elements,” says D&R Design managing director David Phillips.

The residential project has won both the 2017 Mayor of London Planning Awards Best New Place to Live category and the RESI residential property Award 2017 for Development of the Year.
