Apartments at Paxton Court, Tenby

Overview:
Paxton Court in Tenby is a development of 36 one and two bedroom retirement apartments, developed by McCarthy & Stone. The development on a coastal site in the town centre of Tenby, south Wales, was designed specifically for the over 60s, with many residents enjoying a sea view. A full range of support services is included for residents, including a 24 hour emergency call system to provide support for those of advancing years.
The property replaced the Royal Gatehouse Hotel, which was ruined by fire. And it was named after Sir Robert Paxton, a leading figure in Tenby’s emergence as a fashionable resort in the 19th century. The colourful design was prepared by C2J Architects of Cardiff, noting the traditional style appropriate to Tenby’s historic centre.
Taking account of the site’s history, everyone involved with the development was keen to ensure the development had correctly installed systems to prevent and mitigate fire issues, not least in the basement: the tight town centre site features a basement car park.
Outcome:
Developer McCarthy Stone called on Adexsi to help by designing, supplying and installing pressurisation to the building’s basement lobby and car park area. Adexsi liaised with the local Fire and Building Control authorities to ensure the resulting VeriPark installation was approved and delivered to tight deadlines, for a timely installation on site.
