Solution
To overcome the risk of unauthorised access to the busy Louisa Ryland House, Meesons advised the client to put EasyGate SG Speed Gates in place
By doing so, they could prevent people from entering the facilities without authorisation, thus making them safer spaces for staff and visitors, even when events occur
To keep the solution in tone with Louisa Ryland Houses’ unique style, the clien selected a whi on the SG Spe to complemen colour scheme the marble flo
and matching the grand reception desk
Combating the limited space available, the SG Speed Gates made the perfect solution since they’re the smallest speed gates in our range
Also, the client had full flexibility on passage and wing lengths, meaning they could tailor the product to fit the space perfectly.
Outcome
Louisa Ryland House now houses office space for multiple tenants who use the EasyGate SG speed gates to navigate safely in and out of the building.
The overall look of the reception remained stylish with the addition of the security solution, as it did not compromise the boutique's luxurious appearance
The EasyGate SG Speed Gates has achieved a discreet look that helped the client add a layer of security with the limited space available
