Due to a number of existing and imposedconstraints, One London Wall is one of the mostcomplex city office buildings ever designed by Fosterand Partners. The development is adjacent to thewest wall of the Roman Fort, part of the London Wall and hence a scheduled ancient monument.

The Post Office tunnel runs through the site andconstruction had to take place over the existingPlaisterer’s Hall. It was a requirement for the heightof the building to remain under the St. Paul’s viewcone, giving rise to a stepped section across a planwhich is curved to follow the line of London Wall as it meets the corner with Aldersgate Street.

The building is supported by a combination of newand re-used foundations and as a result of the needto preserve aspects of the existing structures, thelowest passenger lift lobby is at first floor. Thetransition from ground to first floor is achieved viaescalators through a spectacular nine metre highentrance hall on London Wall.

The Bespoke Systemicon TUBE is manufactured in Stainless Steel or NyMet® coated aluminium and can also besupplied as a distinctive combination of both.Natural Hardwood handrails compliment eitherfinish and NyMet® coatings range from uniquemetallics to an endless choice of BS, RAL oreven specially formulated solid colours. Thesystem is extremely flexible offering numerousbracket designs for wall mounted handrails andbalustrade guarding options include in line oroffset glass, perforated steel panels, intermediaterails or stainless steel tensioned wire ropes.

Versatility, ReliabilitySince inception, icon has grown to become the Industry’s preferred specification for high quality handrail solutions and continues toevolve as the most versatile modular system on the market. icon brings added value to aconstruction project offering freedom of choice,quality control and confidence in the knowledge that the system has been tried, tested andendorsed by countless leading Professionalswithin the field.

Infinite Options, One SystemExtensive configurations and a broad range offinishes enable the Specifier to create a productthat is truly individual. Specifications can also be varied within the same scheme, either as adesign or cost driven process and whilst levelsof expenditure are catered for between front andback of house applications, an overall uniformityof detailing is maintained throughout.

Clean Linesicon is manufactured as a series of machined orcast fittings, mechanically connected together tocreate a highly engineered product with precise,clean lines between adjoining components. Thesystem has a sharp, sophisticated appearance,unhindered by the presence of unsightly weldsas can often be the case with fabricatedalternatives.

Concealed Fixingsicon endorses positive detailing and with suchemphasis placed on precision it is complimen-tary for fixing screws and bolt heads to bediscretely concealed wherever possible. Endcaps, cover discs and rosettes feature in thedesign of all key components to provide a tidyand tamper proof solution, particularly appropriatefor public and educational building applications.

Superior FinishStainless steel icon is supplied with a radiallypolished brushed satin finish and the aluminiumversion, which already benefits from aninherently superior surface to that of mild steel, is further enhanced by the application of a unique NyMet® coating system. Naturalhardwood handrails are polished and lacquered.

More information on the range and specificationof icon finishes can be found on page 36.

Technical Performanceicon has been developed in accordance withthe design criteria specified in BS 6180:1999and side loading requirements for all building-use categories can be accommodated includingthe 3 kN/m horizontal UDL designated for areas susceptible to overcrowding. Internal and external specifications are available for theNyMet® finished aluminium system including the Stainless Steel range which is supplied in 304 and 316 grade variants. Curved rails can be considered and special adaptations ofthe system are often incorporated to suit theindividual needs or preferences of each project.

Supplied, Installedicon is available Internationally on a supply andinstallation basis as a specialist ArchitecturalHandrail & Balustrade package procured directlyby the Client, Developer or Principle Contractor.

icon on lineSubscribers can compile icon specificationswithin the NBS Plus software package oralternatively, standard specification templates can be obtained from the Internet; atwww.handraildesign.co.uk. it is also possibleto download AutoCAD drawings of the systemcomponents together with generic handrail andbalustrade designs.

Winner of countless Industry accolades including the prestigious Civic Trust Award, Chiswick Park isthe masterplan of developer Stanhope, comprising12 office buildings laid out around an urban park at the western end of Chiswick High Road, westLondon. Designed by Richard Rogers Partnership,the scheme addresses the desire of companies toattract and retain key employees with the logic that if people enjoy work, they produce better work,which in turn creates a better business.

The immaculately detailed buildings surround acentral lake and an impressive range of communalfacilities are provided including a health club,swimming pool, café and open-air performance area. Unlike most office developments the park isopen to the public and the gardens play regular host to a wide array of outdoor social events. Theaverage build period for the six completed officeswas achieved with remarkable speed and efficiency,taking only 36 weeks including category “A” finishes.
