Comelit Door Entry has
been specified as the stylish system of choice at the much anticipated,
Renaissance Retirement’s new luxury independent living, Fleur-de-Lis site in
Marlborough.
The development of 28
superior one and two bedroom apartments, built on the former Old Yard is the
first new build site of its kind in the town for over 10 years. Designed in
part by ex-England Heritage consultants, it adopts an ‘arts and crafts style’ consisting of sweeping, sprocketed roofs,
Voysey dormers and large chimneys.
With Orestone Controls
Limited being the preferred and specialist installer for Renaissance Retirement
Limited, the complete specification for the Fleur de Lis development right
through to Comelit’s bespoke door entry panels, had to work with the ambition
to present an independent lifestyle in a contemporary setting, and a modern and
stylish environment.
Says Paul Williams,
Construction Director for Renaissance Retirement: “Fleur de Lis stands as one
of our major new home launches. Not only does it look aspirational from the
outside, but each apartment presents a real opportunity for those seeking to
maintain a quality standard of independent living and uphold a luxury style of
life.
“Throughout the
project, from initial design through to specification and works completion, we
have relied upon our trusted suppliers to advise on how to deliver on our
vision. From a security perspective, it was integral that each of the
properties connected to emergency call systems and 24-hour response, as well as
an on-site concierge who is on hand to assist owners and oversee the
development’s daily operation.”
Orestone Controls
worked with Renaissance Retirement right from the initial design and
specification of security and fire systems on site, to installation, ensuring a
fully integrated solution.
For smart door entry,
Comelit’s 2-wire SimpleBus system with mini handsfree monitors were selected to
operate with KMS Access Control and FAAC gate control kit, installed to control
the front gates and main entrance to the site.
Richard Chadd,
Orestone Controls’ Engineering Manager added: “We have worked with Renaissance
Retirement Limited long enough to understand their requirements and high
expectations to deliver luxury as standard. And Fleur-de-Lis even takes
this to the next level; to provide an exceptional standard of independent
living.
“Here, we had to
consider each aspect of its specification in considerable detail, to ensure an
impeccable finish. Comelit Group is globally renowned as a stylish door
entry manufacturer and high specification solution. Its ability to
integrate with selected gate and access control systems ensured we can create a
seamless security experience.”
At the Fleur-de-Lis
development, warden and nurse call systems, operated through a specialist PA
system presents residents with complete peace of mind that necessary services
can be called in case of emergency.
Gareth Goodall,
Comelit Business Development Manager concluded: “Renaissance Retirements’
exceptional Fleur-de-Lis development, in its provision of age-exclusive
apartment living close to all the local amenities, is the ultimate choice for
those desiring a peaceful and independent retirement lifestyle.
“To ensure success,
security right from the perimeter through to apartment door entry,
incorporating all community facilities, must be carefully balanced between ease
of use for downsizers, integrated technology and with no compromise to quality
or style. It’s something Comelit worked closely with Orestone to create a
bespoke door entry solution.”
