Origin were involved in a project in East London to fit out the Rainham ROYALS Youth Centre by supplying aluminium windows, helping maximise the use of space in the roof of the building.

The sixteen aluminium flush casement windows were finished in RAL 7030 coloured powder coating. The powder coating on Origin’s windows is extremely hardwearing and is guaranteed to perform for 20 years.

Since being built, the Youth Centre has become an important hub for youngsters within the local area but the Centre itself was in need of a renovation to make the best use of the space available.

Origin to provided aluminium windows to transform the Youth Centre roof into a light and bright space. The space now incorporates a mix of formal and informal areas, ranging from fixed workstations and hot desks to sofas and chairs, allowing for a mixture of learning and social settings.

The Origin Window brings light through the glazed corner display and gives the young people who use the space a sense of space, while people outside can see the activities taking place in the building. The space created feels almost like a treehouse and this is echoed by the choice of materials and use of light.

Since completion, ROYALS has been nominated for two awards, The Wood Awards and The Civic Trust Award.
