Yara student accommodation for St Anns Rd, London
Client: HG Construction
Location: London
HG Construction was the main contractor at this student accommodation project for Yara. Adexsi UK was appointed to offer a smoke control and cooling daily ventilation solution that would ensure the 84-occupancy building remains safe and comfortable for the students living there.
This building, located within a five minute walk of Holland Park underground station, is a five story residential tower with a café at ground floor plus a plant room and basement storage below. The building could be considered at particular risk of fire – student accommodations feature relatively transient populations, high occupancy density and a reputation for parties, smoking and late-night cooking sessions.
Smoke control in such buildings is not only common sense; it’s a legislative requirement.
Adexsi UK’s solution was something of a hybrid, combining a number of established technologies to create a bespoke system that works specifically for the Yara student accommodation.
