Skyline from Alumasc chosen for Empire Wharf airspace development
Skyline from Alumasc chosen for Empire Wharf airspace development
As London developers continue to maximise residential opportunities across the city, airspace developments are becoming an increasingly common sight along the capital’s rooftops. Skyline Architectural Aluminium from Alumasc Water Management Solutions (AWMS) has helped create additional living space above two existing blocks in the Victoria Park Conservation Area of Tower Hamlets.
Empire Wharf – a secure, gated development sitting on banks of the Hertford Union Canal – is the latest stunning airspace development designed by AWW Architects and delivered by main contractor TNV Construction for their client, Upspace. The original development was completed in 1994, occupying its popular canalside position near to the 86 hectares of green space offered by Victoria Park.
The latest development involved the construction of new penthouse apartments on top of both buildings at Empire Wharf; and TNV Construction were tasked with the specification of the external facade. The requirement was for a robust solution that could provide long-term security against the elements on the exposed rooftop location, and one that also fulfilled the design aesthetic. Having previously worked with Alumasc on multiple projects, Devshi Siyani, project director with TNV Construction, introduced Skyline to AWW Architects and the client’s design team.
Skyline Architectural Aluminium from AWMS offers a full range of aluminium design solutions, including fascias, soffits and copings, with a fully bespoke capability allowing designers maximum creative freedom. The product range is backed by unrivalled technical expertise, which was essential at Empire Wharf to ensure that the integrity of the existing building was maintained.
The AWMS technical team made multiple visits to site, working closely with TNV Construction and AWW Architects, to provide the required schematics to the project team. The final design was constructed on the rooftops, with Skyline Modular Cladding Panels secured to the framework using a secret-fix system to complement the clean lines and sleek aesthetics created by the panels. The system was finished in a bespoke BBA-approved powder coating in part-metallic pale-bronze RAL1035MET, to ensure a contemporary yet unobtrusive overall result, remaining sympathetic to the building’s original features. The perimeter wall around the Empire Wharf rooftop, was finished using Skyline aluminium copings, also powder-coated in RAL1035MET.
Devshi Siyani of TNV Construction, comments:
“We have a well-established relationship with Alumasc, and knew that the Skyline product and technical expertise would both support the requirements of the Empire Wharf project. Use of modular panels enabled the teams to work quickly and efficiently, helping to avoid displacement of existing residents, and keeping disruption to a minimum. Alumasc’s technical team were regular visitors to site, and engaged pro-actively in development of the final design with the client’s design team. The Skyline product has provided a sustainable and attractive living space, which has remained sympathetic to the appearance of the area. This level of teamwork was essential in delivering the successful ‘upwards revival’ of Empire Wharf, at a time when residential space in the city is at a premium.”
Also specified at Empire Wharf was a complete rainwater package from Alumasc Rainwater’s Flushjoint range. Flushjoint is a contemporary range of extruded aluminium downpipes with concealed spigots which give a smooth, clean finish that perfectly complements the minimalist appearance of the Skyline cladding panels. The Flushjoint system was supplied on the new constructions on both buildings, in a 4 inch square downpipe profile, and finished in the same bespoke RAL1035MET as the Skyline facade.
Ivan Colvil is the senior technical sales manager with AWMS, and worked extensively on the project alongside TNV Construction and AWW Architects. Ivan concludes:
“The Skyline modular cladding panels have been used to stunning effect at Empire Wharf. The project was intensive from a technical point of view, and consistent communication between TNV, AWW and AWMS was imperative to ensure the new airspace development worked perfectly with the existing structure. We provided full design assistance, schematic layouts, take-offs, multiple site visits, and also assisted the supplying builders’ merchant with deliveries and breakdowns. A true team effort.”

Skyline Architectural Aluminium from Alumasc Chosen for Stunning Jersey Development
Skyline Architectural Aluminium from Alumasc Chosen for Stunning Jersey Development
A prestigious coastal development in Jersey is benefitting from the clean, contemporary lines of Skyline Architectural Aluminium fascia, soffits and copings, from Alumasc Water Management Solutions (AWMS).
Andium Homes are Jersey's largest provider of affordable housing, and their Edinburgh House development on Green Street in St Helier, was a long time in the making. The site, formerly known as La Collette Low Rise, was originally home to listed buildings and protected open spaces, meaning a sympathetic approach and a number of enabling works were required prior to construction taking place.
Designed by Morris Architects and delivered on behalf of Andium Homes by main contractor, Dandara, Edinburgh House comprises three residential blocks creating 147 new homes, private balconies and landscaped communal gardens. Its beautiful coastal location and sleek modern appearance, demanded a robust fascia and soffit solution that could not only withstand the marine weather conditions, but that would also complement the architectural design aesthetics.
Morris Architects and Dandara worked together in the specification of Skyline Architectural Aluminium from Alumasc. They were very specific in their requirement for a five-piece fascia and soffit system, which needed to work well with the traditional construction of Edinburgh House.
Skyline Architectural Aluminium is a market-leading collection of fascia and soffit solutions with a proven track record across many of the UK's high-profile buildings. Manufactured in the UK from superior lightweight aluminium, Skyline's high-quality aesthetic complemented the building design perfectly, whilst also achieving budget expectations.
The Skyline technical team made numerous site visits during the course of the project, providing full drawings, sectional details, full schematic layouts, samples and a full take-off service. The Skyline five-piece fascia and soffit system was installed on all three buildings, with Skyline copings used on each parapet and around the perimeter of all top roofing areas. All products were colour co-ordinated with Alumasc's BBA approved polyester powder coating in Mouse Grey RAL7005M.
To complete the rainwater management solution, Flushjoint downpipes from Alumasc Rainwater were specified for all three buildings. Flushjoint is a contemporary range of extruded aluminium downpipes with concealed spigots which give a smooth, clean finish to blend perfectly with the minimalist façade. The Flushjoint system was supplied with a CP40 circular downpipe profile, BBA approved polyester powder coated in white, to colour match the building exterior. Flushjoint is inherently lightweight and easy to install.
The aluminium used in the manufacture of both Skyline and Flushjoint is 100% recyclable.
