Tell us about yourself and your practice.
I'm a director at Maddison architects. We are a small firm which focuses on providing 'tailor made' design solutions for our clients. Our work tackles most of the regular areas of architecture but we like to think that we find inspiration in each situation.
What do you like best about being an architect?
I'm always discovering things I don't know on projects that puzzle me.
What was your brief for the job?
We always feel honoured being asked by builders to work on their own projects and the Leeda Offices was special to us because our client, Leeda Developments, are responsible for building many of our projects over the years. Their brief called for an open space environment which could also be closed off to particular spaces and offices as needed.
Why did you decide to use A6 open rail doors?
For this project we liked the idea of using expressive construction techniques that allowed our client to showcase their skill and attention to detail. In the fit out the A6 seemed a natural fit to incorporate into the design.
What do you think the Centor Architectural systems added to this project?
The A6 gave us the necessary function and aesthetic we were looking for.
Has there been any feedback from the client regarding functionality of the hardware and the ease of operation?
Our client now inhabits a space which fits their functional needs and expresses their own attributes. The A6 contributes to this and our clients' feedback is that they now invite new and existing clients and contractors to their office with renewed enthusiasm.
