Permasteelisa Group To Deliver Glazing And Cladding At St. John's Wood Square
Permasteelisa Group is to deliver the glazing and cladding at St. John's Wood Square, a new development in the heart of London.
The St John’s Wood Square project is the redevelopment of the 5.5-acre former St. John’s
Wood Barracks, previously occupied by the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery. The residential
development will comprise nine buildings, ranging in height from three to six storeys, offering a total of 179 residential units.
Permasteelisa will design, engineer, manufacture and install over 15,000 sq m of custom-made architectural cladding across all blocks. For the main elevations, largely made up of precast elements, the company will supply tripled glazed punched windows and sliding doors,
balustrades and metal balconies.
In addition, specific elements will be provided for the wrap-around glazing, roof mansards and
external 'veil' structures that slope against the vertical walls within the penthouses, as well as
the glazing that will occupy the ground floor on the street front.
The design phase of the work has already begun at Permasteelisa's design centre in Italy,
where the bespoke elements of the façade will also be assembled in its specialist manufacturing facility. On site work will start at the end of 2024, with scheduled completion of the façade works planned for the summer of 2026.
