The striking Ixia development in London’s Shoreditch for Crest Nicholson, with a bespoke Hunter Douglas shutter system, has proved an instant hit with buyers.

The exterior of the development, designed by architects HGP, features a titanium anodised shutter system installed by Alumet and allowing residents to make their own adjustments for privacy, light and shade.

Phase one on the Ixia scheme saw 244 sliding shutters installed, whilst phase 2 saw the addition of 100AF fins for vertical privacy control, serving to highlight the benefits of the bespoke systems the company can create thanks to the design flexibility of the innovative system.
