Transforming Coventry Cathedral: A Collaborative Project with A&RME Architects
Coventry Cathedral, a symbol of resilience and renewal, has recently undergone a transformative project, and we are thrilled to share the story behind it. Those who follow the Conservation and Heritage Journal may have already caught a glimpse of this remarkable endeavor, where we had the honor of partnering with A&RME Architects to bring a shared vision to life.
Project Highlights
One of the defining features of the Coventry Cathedral project is the meticulous attention to architectural hardware, which enhances both the building's aesthetic appeal and functionality. Our team selected stunning satin brass unlacquered hardware for this iconic structure. This choice brings a timeless elegance to the space while ensuring both durability and longevity.
The project’s standout hardware feature is the diamond knurled design levers from Olivia Rhodes. These levers perfectly blend form and function, offering visitors a tactile and visually appealing experience. The diamond knurled design adds a touch of sophistication and provides a secure, comfortable grip—an ideal fit for Coventry Cathedral’s high-traffic needs.
Modern Access Control Integration
Beyond aesthetics, we are proud to have provided advanced access control solutions to enhance security and convenience throughout Coventry Cathedral. Working closely with A&RME Architects, our team seamlessly integrated state-of-the-art access control systems, including automated door operators, into the cathedral’s layout. These operators provide smooth and reliable access to various areas, meeting the needs of both visitors and staff.
The door operators, supplied by SDS London, reflect our commitment to delivering reliable, energy-efficient solutions that align with Coventry Cathedral’s sustainability goals, bringing modern functionality into this historic space.
Honoring Heritage Through Innovation
This collaborative project with A&RME Architects is a testament to the power of partnership in preserving and enhancing architectural heritage. From the elegant satin brass hardware to the seamless integration of access control, every aspect of the Coventry Cathedral project reflects our dedication to quality, durability, and innovation.
As we continue our journey of blending aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability, Coventry Cathedral stands as a shining example of how historic sites can evolve to meet contemporary needs without compromising their character.
We are immensely grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the restoration and preservation of Coventry Cathedral. If you find yourself in Coventry, we invite you to experience firsthand the craftsmanship and care that went into its transformation, knowing that our team played a part in enhancing this beloved historic landmark.
