Winthrop Hall by George Barnsdale and Sons

Name of project	Winthrop Hall
Manufacturer	George Barnsdale and Sons
Location	Staplehurst, Kent
Project requirements	Winthrop’s Chief Executive Lesley Reardon said: ’Our brief to the architect was to create a state of the art building that would be as sustainable and healthy as we could make it. Timber windows were required that could provide openings that aid natural air flow and reduce heat gain.
Solution	George Barnsdale and Sons provided timber windows incorporating thermal glass, external louvers and high and low level openings to aid natural air flow and reduce heat gain.
Benefits	Client’s requirements in terms of controlling the internal environment of the building by using correctly designed joinery were met.
Client feedback	At this year’s prestigious ‘Building Better Healthcare Awards’, Green Register Architect Caroline Martin of Househam Henderson beat stiff competition to win the coveted award for Best Sustainable Building. Winthrop Hall is a new residential drugs and alcohol rehabilitation centre in Staplehurst, Kent, built for pioneering company Success In Recovery.
