Coal Drops Yard reopened in 2018 as King’s Cross’ newest shopping district and public space. Its triumphant reinvention is largely down to the vision of one design studio and their skilful use of steel systems from Schüco Jansen.The heart of the project centred on the refurbishment of the interiors of the two buildings themselves; these have been rescued from semi-dereliction and transformed into a vibrant mix of more than 60 retail units of varying sizes. The shops are situated in the series of arches that run the length of each building.Photos courtesy of Hufton+Crow.

Perched atop an exposed ridge in The Chilterns, Kate and [husband’s name] Fischer’s home, a former Gamekeeper’s Lodge, has been given a new lease of life with an oak frame extension and Schüco glazing systems.

The transformation of 86 Fetter Lane, a large office space in the heart of London, required the high-quality design and performance of several Schüco systems, both internally and externally.The bespoke Schüco FWS 50 curtain walling has been designed to provide a clear view into the reception area, creating a stunning first impression of the building. Straightforward and reliable integration, as well as elegant aesthetic were two key reasons for choosing FWS 50.

Lorna and Gavin Gall’s new home on the banks of the River Clyde has large sliding or bi-fold Schüco doors on every floor providing river views and filling the house with natural light.In addition to the sliding and bi-fold doors, the front of the house has Schüco tilt/turn windows, and fixed windows around the front door.

In early 2022, the completion of the Institute of Developmental and Regenerative Medicine (IDRM) fulfilled Oxford University’s desire to spark scientific collaboration by bringing its neurology, immunology and cardiology departments under one roof.Designed by SRA Architects using Passivhaus principles as stipulated by the university, the IDRM was built to meet the sustainability, accessibility and security standards of a world-class academic research facility.Our Schüco Super Insulated (SI) range was specified for this project. Schüco windows, doors and curtain walling systems were chosen as to meet the strict energy efficiency requirements of the design.

Completed in 2022, the three-storey building makes use of diverse materials such as Corten steel cladding and living walls externally, and polished concrete internally, with large Schüco doors and windows on each floor. Regularly taking on high-end developments, Studio Spicer is no stranger to the benefits of using Schüco systems, so decided to specify Schüco windows and doors for its office building. The studio wished to maximise natural light with large panels of glass which were designed to blend into the mixed material environment. Photos by Chris FosseyExcellence Awards 2024

The extension and refurbishment of the Fulham Centre in South West London re-configured the existing retail and commercial building using both aluminium and steel Schüco systems. The original building was partially redeveloped by the addition of a double-height glazed entrance lobby, a five-storey extension to the rear, new ground-level glazing, and a refurbishment of the existing façades.Photo credits: Tony MacLean

The International Rugby Experience is a new cultural institution and visitor experience created to honour the game of rugby. Located in the heart of Limerick, this ambitious build sought to reinvigorate the city centre, complement the existing local arts and heritage attractions and forge links with Munster rugby.Designed as a unique civic structure inspired by historic buildings, it stands as a “Cathedral to Rugby”. The building’s façade design marries expansive glazed panels with distinctive red brick to stunning effect, becoming an architectural attraction itself.The seven-storey building features state-of-the-art interactive displays, retail spaces, a café, event areas, and a top-floor hall with sweeping views. Its grand entrance portico is a hub for visitors, especially on game days.Photo credits: Nick Kane and Jed Niezgoda

Borough Yards is a vibrant new development of retail streets and commercial office space located in and around a series of restored railway arches next to historic Borough Market in southeast London.The retained façades of forgotten warehouses blend sensitively into a new development providing elevations to two 6-storey office buildings. Schüco Jansen thermally broken steel windows and doors were chosen to replace the original thermally inefficient steel windows, and for the glazing in the new long elevation.Photo credits: Dean Hearne
