Sussex Place is a residential facility in Regent’s Park, London. It is the home of the London Business School. It is a Grade I listed building. The building was designed by John Nash and built by William Smith, being completed in 1823. The building, which features ten pointed cupolas along the roof line and a façade adorned with Corinthian columns, was originally built as 26 terraced houses. It was acquired by the London Business School and converted for educational use in the late 1960s.
The project
Sussex Place is a Grade 1 listed building with stringent planning conditions. Usually, this would mean the windows could only be replaced with exact replicas of the original.
However, several years ago, the windows were unsympathetically replaced with incorrect ones. Owing to TRC’s nearly unique ability to manufacture bespoke double-glazed windows that match the glazing bars, mouldings, and proportions of the original windows, a more cost-effective solution was found.
The windows were manufactured with ultra-slim balances that fit into the existing reveals, which had been adapted over the years to avoid the need for extensive brickwork modifications.
Overall, a cost-effective solution was found for what could have been a very costly problem.
The London business was provided with high-performing timber windows that have a U-value of 1.4, double glazing, and PAS 24 (secure by design standard) in the residential section of the building. These windows are indistinguishable from the remaining original windows.
