Cygnus Court

The Challenge: Remediating and Enhancing Outdoor Spaces with Structural Integrity 

The Cygnus Court remediation project presented a significant challenge: upgrading and replacing external terrace and balcony finishes to meet the latest safety and performance standards. With a large roof terrace and multiple balconies requiring transformation, the project demanded a solution that not only provided enhanced structural integrity but also ensured compliance with modern regulations.

The project required a durable, fire-rated, and adaptable system that could seamlessly integrate with the existing structure while improving the aesthetic and functional quality of the outdoor spaces. RYNO’s TerraSmart® Aluminium System was the ideal choice to deliver a robust and reliable solution.

The Solution: The TerraSmart® Aluminium System – Engineered for Safety and Performance 

Collaborating closely with PRP Group from the early planning stages, RYNO suggested the TerraSmart® Aluminium Decking System. This advanced system was selected for its superior strength, lightweight construction, and compliance with fire regulations. Key benefits of the system included:

• High-Performance Remediation Solution: Designed to replace outdated or non-compliant balcony and terrace systems, ensuring long-term durability.
• Euroclass A Fire Rating: The fully non-combustible system met stringent safety requirements, providing peace of mind for residents and project stakeholders.
• Versatile and Adaptable Design: TerraSmart Aluminium offers flexible build-up heights, making it ideal for remediation projects where existing conditions vary.
• Lightweight Yet Strong: The aluminium construction provided exceptional strength while minimizing additional load on the structure.
• Efficient Drainage and Longevity: The system ensures effective water runoff, reducing maintenance needs and prolonging the lifespan of the terraces and balconies.

RYNO worked closely with Craft Interiors (Subcontractor) and Equans (Main Contractor) to ensure the seamless integration of the system into the Cygnus Court redevelopment.

Collaborative Problem-Solving: Delivering a Seamless Upgrade The successful delivery of the Cygnus Court remediation project was made possible through close collaboration between all stakeholders:

• PRP Group (Architects): Worked alongside RYNO to design a system that balanced safety, aesthetics, and long-term resilience.
• Equans (Main Contractor): Ensured smooth project execution and integration of the TerraSmart® Aluminium System within the wider remediation strategy.
• Craft Interiors (Subcontractor): Managed on-site installation, working with RYNO to ensure precision and efficiency in execution.

With a proactive approach, RYNO provided technical support at every stage, ensuring that the system met all regulatory requirements while enhancing the usability and appeal of the terraces and balconies.

Real Results: A Safer, More Durable, and Visually Striking Outdoor Space 

The transformation of Cygnus Court’s roof terrace and balconies has resulted in a safe, modern, and structurally sound outdoor environment for residents. With the TerraSmart® Aluminium System in place, the development now benefits from a high-performance, fire-rated decking solution designed for longevity.

By combining innovative engineering with expert collaboration, RYNO successfully delivered a remediation solution that met both safety requirements and the architectural vision for Cygnus Court, ensuring a future-proofed and aesthetically refined outdoor space.
