THE PROJECT
This 60 acre, £150 million development comprises a designer outlet, leisure facilities, hotel, supermarket, bars and
restaurants and is one of the largest mixed use waterside regeneration developments in the UK. This imaginative and
visionary scheme aims to provide an attractive environment for residents and a major destination for shoppers and
tourists. The client wanted the colourful heritage of the Quays to be preserved and enhanced, whilst blending in with
the contemporary design of the newer buildings.
As part of the development, various listed buildings were being renovated, requiring the design and manufacture
of suitable windows and doors that would exactly match the period and look of the building. A number of listed
buildings around the site were involved and this was a large scale project requiring over 200 very large, high
specification windows and doors measuring as much as 5m high.
George Barnsdale designed windows and doors with ornate timber frames and light panels that perfectly matched
the original windows and complimented the period and style of the building.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
“Once the finished product was produced and installed, we were really pleased with the end result. We felt they were
of very good quality with a good finish and a design that worked.
Despite the huge scale of the project, George Barnsdale consistently met the manufacturing deadline that we had
agreed which meant we were able to stick to timescales.”
Simon Allen, Project Director, Bovis Lend Lease.
“There were lots of specific requirements that had to be met with these windows and doors, such as fire standards,
retail standards, loading standards, security standards and various thermal requirements, due to the nature of the
buildings and their intended purpose. The windows and doors created by George Barnsdale successfully met all of
these stringent standards.”
Bastin Bloomfield, Architect, Dyer Group.
