Atlantic House

MKMetals Ltd has been entrusted with the architectural metalwork for Atlantic House. Thomas’s Schools aims to merge two remarkable historic structures within a vibrant urban setting. The project presents the challenge of creating a spacious, aesthetically pleasing, and secure educational environment while honoring the constraints of the site and its historical significance, all while enhancing the building's fabric to meet ambitious energy efficiency goals.

​

Significant attention has been devoted to the landscaping design, which aims to address three key objectives: reducing noise pollution, ensuring privacy and safety, and enhancing the visual appeal of Atlantic House’s front façade. A tranquil garden designed in a woodland style has been strategically placed closest to the adjacent residential areas, while soundproof accoustic fencing has been incorporated around the recreational and sports zones to mitigate noise disturbances.

​

On the façade that faces St Albans Grove, a low brick plinth wall topped with natural stone coping will be constructed to clearly define the school’s boundary and foster a sense of security. This wall will also include decorative railings that feature the Thomas’s Day School logo, thereby creating a unique identity for the institution while maintaining harmony with the surrounding properties. This aspect is an integral part of the responsibilities assigned to MKMetals Ltd.
