Introduction
By late 2018 designs had been completed by architecture studio, Safe & Place, and the planning application was submitted to Chiltern District Council for a new leisure and community facility for Chiltern District.
It would replace the old, outdated and uneconomical facilities that already occupied the King George V Road site whilst retaining the historic barns.
The plan for Chiltern Lifestyle Centre, Amersham would include a gym, a spa, an 8-lane 25 metre swimming pool, a diving / teaching pool, a children’s splash pad area, a four-badminton court sports hall, squash courts, a climbing wall, library, café area and community centre. Chiltern District Council’s Deputy Leader Cllr Mike Stannard, Cabinet Member for Support Services, said at the time: “The planning application being submitted is an exciting milestone”
The application was approved by the council in July 2019. Demolishing, clearing and building began in late 2019 on the state-of-the-art leisure, sports and community building.
Task
Solinear was delighted to be chosen for this prestigious project and the team once again looked forward to working with long-time collaborator, BAM Construction, whom Solinear had supported at tender stage, ultimately winning the contract.
As the MederaTM range was compliant with the architect’s specification and project requirements, Solinear’s contribution would involve manufacturing a MederaTMtimber solar shading vertical fin system to enhance the façade of the new Chiltern Lifestyle Centre whilst also providing much needed brise soleil protection for the occupants of the building.
Action
Solinear was delighted, once again, to work with BAM Construction and is proud to have been part of Chiltern Lifestyle Centre highlighting not only the phenomenal work carried out by Solinear, but everyone involved in the project.
Solinear’s consummate professionalism, expertise, attention to detail and flexibility was unmistakable, especially throughout this project. – It reinforced Solinear’s reputation as an innovator overcoming a variety of issues that it presented the Solinear team with – negotiating challenges with ingenuity and resourcefulness.
The resulting MederaTM vertical fin system creates a striking feature of the façade and befits the warm tones of the building’s exterior. As Chiltern District Council merged with other district councils to form the new unitary Buckinghamshire Council in early March 2020, the project was handed over to Buckinghamshire Council in December 2021 and has proved to be a popular and vital asset for the area
