The Brief
We were asked to develop a specification that would provide easy, simple and functional solutions that would work without complication while complimenting this stunning, and incredibly unique, residence.

The Project
- 4 bedroom family home.
- Bike garage.
- Ground floor studio.
- Garden terraces.
Designed as a home for his own family, architect Oliver Lazarus had a colourful and contemporary vision for this personal and playful passion project.
A distinctive black brick home, on a wedge shaped plot in The Oval, London.
One of the more complicated functions of our specification was the direct access from the front of the house into the bike store.
The brief for this handed front lock door was to have a deadlock with integrated door entry system that would remain operational during power outages, and could easily be entered and exited without need for additional switches or door releases.

Features
A much loved product with clean lines, solid quality and smooth functionality.
Finish
Satin stainless steel was chosen to compliment the clean colour pallet of the project.
In the main living areas we can see the use of a number of discrete pocket doors but where visible ironmongery was used a cue was taken from the shape of the floor plan by using our 117 wedge lever handle, finished in satin stainless steel.
"During the last 15 years we’ve worked with 3V on over 100 projects across all sectors. 3V provide a fantastic service in terms of specification, scheduling and ensuring that the correct hardware gets to site."
"3V came up with a great solution that the occupant of the house still enthuses about! [...] No other supplier had come up with these solutions previously and this is a great example of where 3V enabled us, with access to their expertise, to push design elements confident in the knowledge that they would understand the design question and go the extra mile to achieve the solution.’"
