A stunning-looking modern student accommodation building with commercial kitchens, meeting rooms, and courtyard, built to Passive House principals and with a sustainability agenda. Window and door frames are made from timber which is a renewable resource. Timber windows and doors are rarely specified for multi-story buildings, but these European-style window products, together with double glazing, achieve high wind rating, soundproofing, and energy-efficiency ratings.

The initial contact with us came about as the company required N5 rated windows and doors and Paarhammer have products tested to such a high wind loading. Due to the large glazed areas an especially engineered solution was found by re-designing our Euro-style timber framing.
