Manhattan Loft Gardens

The design of the development is striking, with three large rooftop gardens slicing in to the body of the high-rise tower, with the upper levels being supported by a cantilever. The open air spaces offer a modern take on the traditional London rooftop gardens, providing residents with space to relax outside of their home. The façade of the building features a combination of transparent and solid panels manufactured in terracotta and glass. The building has been manufactured with a triangular geometric shape to offer a visually-interesting design, pushing the boundaries of modern high-res city developments. The project required 148 mailboxes to securely store the mail deliveries for the residents living in the high-end development. The mailboxes are located on the ground floor in the entrance walkways, with access to the mailboxes and building behind a secured external property door. The mailboxes are configured into multiple products in a bank, maximising the quantity of mail that can be securely stored in a minimum amount of space. The banks of mailboxes are recessed in to the walls of the walkways, fixed through the back panel of each mailbox into the wall. Due to the size of the mailbox banks (first bank: 10 high x 11 wide, second bank: 10 high x 14 wide), the mailboxes were securely fixed through side faces of the product, as well as both the top and bottom faces in to the wall to achieve a maximum fix to the installation walls. The mailbox model used in this development was ‘The Tile’ product that that features composite doors finished in a Stainless Steel – grade 316L with a vertical grain flow. This product has been used on other high-end projects such as Rathbone Place and Fulham High Street (features on these projects coming soon!) The mailbox uses a non-standard lock with a Matt Nickel bespoke finish that secures the front door of the mailbox in style. Each mailbox features contrasting matt black engraved numbering on the face of the stainless steel door. The numbering corresponds to the apartment numbers of the residents in the development, allowing mail delivery personnel granted access to the area as well as the resident to easily identify the correct mailbox.
