Iglu Franklin Street is a 594 bed student accommodation development, located in the historical Queen Victoria market precinct in Melbourne. The project consists of two towers, one 10 levels and the other 24 levels connected by a base building. The towers are an integral component of the building design, aiding in maximising views and linked by a circulation corridor that provides natural ventilation and light into the lift lobbies.

Häfele’s 360º Project Service represents a portfolio of services that can meet the needs of a project of this scale. Offering extensive support through-out the construction process for a customised experience based on our clients requirement’s. Product packages included door hardware, linear sliding solutions and cabinetry hardware.

A comprehensive door hardware schedule was prepared, and hardware solutions were tailored to each door type. Taking careful consideration to exceptional applications, such as sizeable smoke lobby doors in the spaciously designed circulation corridors. The TS 4000G, a heavy-duty fire rated door closer was installed to accommodate the safety and size requirement’s along with magnetic hold open devices for these essential and impressive doors.

A large aluminium framed glazed sliding door measuring 3mtrs x 1.2mtrs separates the extensive community and amenity spaces offered to the students. Häfele was engaged to recommend a suitable sliding system for this expansive door. The HAWA 250A linear sliding system was chosen by Häfele’s qualified consultants due to its large weight carrying capacity of 250kg and excellent running capabilities for this high traffic area.

Häfele Australia was excited to collaborate and offer extensive support to the site project team on this unique student accommodation project. Bringing quality not only to our products, but to each customer relationship for a successful outcome.
