Levolux makes a ‘splash’ at urban regeneration project
 Levolux
has worked closely with developers Urban Splash on the regeneration
of two key sites: Fort Dunlop, the iconic former tyre factory in
Birmingham, and the new Matchbox building in South Liverpool.
Part of the successful regeneration of the Speke Halewood area,
spearheaded by Liverpool Land Development Company, the Matchbox
project is a spectacular high-specification fully glazed office
building.
Designed by Liverpool-based architect Snook, it provides 19,000 sq
ft of Grade A office accommodation with comfort cooling from Levolux
– a critical component for a cube-shaped building made entirely from
glass!
Each elevation has three floors, with a grid dividing them into
five. Levolux has installed 15 external Venetian blinds on each
side, 60 in total. The blinds substantially reduce solar heat gain
and associated energy costs, while optimising lighting conditions
and helping to control glare. They also help insulate the building
by reducing the amount of night cooling during winter months.
Uniquely, the blinds have the ability to protect against glare as
well as very fine light control due to the variable slat positions.
Exterior views are still maintained, ensuring occupants do not feel
cut off from the outside world.
Neil Dawson, Project Architect for Snook + Shedkm, said: “For both
of these innovative projects we needed innovative solar shading
systems to match.
“Levolux supplied us with tailor made solutions that enhance the
appearance of the buildings, something that is vital to regeneration
schemes, and also significantly reduce solar heat gain and energy
costs.”
Like all systems from Levolux, Aerofoil Fins and Ventilation Louvres
are backed with the company’s design, manufacture and installation
package.
