Sapphire Balconies attention to detail ensured offsite manufactured balconies were meticulously delivered in phases to align with the construction timeline. Nestled on Merrick Road, The West Works site occupies the north-west corner of the former Malgavita Works site, once a pioneering margarine factory and later the home of Walls sausages. Under the stewardship of Redrow, the site has been transformed into a modern residential hub, with two additional projects already completed on Merrick Road.
Comprising 489 apartments of various sizes and floor plans, along with a small commercial space, The West Works adopts a four-core concept, featuring a central courtyard and three core sections ranging from seven to 16 storeys in height. The standout feature of the development is the 22-storey Merrick Tower, distinguished by its striking brick cladding.
To cater to diverse preferences, The West Works offers a range of apartment sizes, layouts, and balcony types. Notably, 92 apartments feature Sapphire’s Glide-on™ Cassette® balconies, adding visual interest and flexibility to the design. Manufactured offsite in Sapphire’s specialist facility, these balconies were meticulously delivered in phases to align with the construction timeline, showcasing efficiency and precision in execution.
Upon arrival at Merrick Road, the balconies were seamlessly integrated into the structure using cast-in anchors with thermal breaks, ensuring both rigidity and energy efficiency. While maintaining a consistent specification across all units, the project accommodated variations in balcony placement and decking materials, underscoring Redrow’s commitment to customization and client satisfaction.
The West Works stands as a testament to the transformative power of residential development in West London, offering residents a blend of modern amenities, connectivity, and architectural innovation. As the region continues to evolve, projects like The West Works serve as beacons of progress, reshaping the urban landscape and redefining the concept of contemporary living.
