Hueck has supplied its high-performance windows and doors for a
new glass-clad London landmark that boasts excellent green credentials.
Hoola is a residential development of 360 individually designed
homes set across two rippling glass towers in Tidal Basin Street.
The eco-friendly buildings use recycled energy and achieve a 57%
reduction in CO2 emissions against building regulations. They are also super
insulated, with the concrete frame acting as a heat sink.
The £80m development was designed by architects CZWG and delivered
by property developers Hub Group.
It consists of two towers of 23 and 24 storeys offering a range of
apartments from studios to three bedrooms, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows
and sliding glass walls opening onto full width private balconies.
Located alongside the historic Royal Victoria Dock, the stylish
and contemporary apartments offer panoramic views of London.
Hueck supplied the aluminium windows and doors for each of the
apartments.
Managing Director Leon Friend commented: “Green construction has
become more important as developers look to increase the lifespan and reduce
energy consumption for buildings by incorporating designs and materials that
cater to future occupant needs.
“Our products are not only attractive, they are designed to be
incredibly energy efficient, helping to reduce utility costs, reduce the carbon
footprint of the building and improve longevity.”
Hoola marks the gateway to London’s Royal Docks, an area set for
major regeneration over the next few years.
