The London Hotel

The London Hotel – A Celebration of Beachfront Beauty

The iconic The London Hotel on Port Melbourne’s foreshore has undergone a riveting redevelopment. Smartech Door Systems was engaged to maximise the site’s beachfront outlook through the discerning use of specially engineered windows. Ever championing bespoke solutions to enhance the originality of projects, Smartech’s team set about crafting two custom designs. Through consultation between the client and Smartech’s specialist engineers, the resulting window solutions included the re-design of an existing product to produce Smartech’s Vertical Downlift Windows and the creation of an entirely new product, Smartech External V-Folding Windows.

Both window types were chosen to be double-glazed to optimise energy efficiency in the building.

The Smartech External V-Folding Windows present a sophisticated stainless-steel system while incorporating signature seals and aluminium tracks. Offering no obstruction to the interior space, the windows are configured to fold and rise parallel to the ceiling exterior to the first floor.

Entirely stainless steel, the ground floor’s Vertical Downlift Windows were re-designed to ensure the correct tolerances for its custom tracks and seals. The stainless-steel chain opening mechanism of this window is visible – adding industrial flair – as the panel drops down gracefully to the floor.

Allowing the corner block to take full advantage of its coastal backdrop, Smartech’s windows open and close at the touch of a button – welcoming streams of light and air to move throughout while retaining panoramic views even when closed.

Smartech successfully realised the client’s vision for windows that would seamlessly glide into an elegant open position to complement the Hotel’s clean aesthetic.
