Background
Located on top of The Glen Shopping Centre in Glen Waverly, Sky Garden is a residential apartment complex with 555 apartments across three buildings. The buildings offer panoramic views from the evergreen Dandenong Ranges across to Melbourne's city skyline. Sky Garden was shortlisted for the UDIA awards for excellence, for best high-density development in Australia.
Three years on from practical completion, 555 apartments across three buildings, not a single defect has arisen in the defects register relating to the door hardware itself.

First-of-its-kind intergenerational care

TLC features 147 residential aged care rooms, including 30 dementia specific residences, each fitted with modern amenities, tailored for the needs of elderly residents. All rooms provide warm natural lighting with a spacious ensuite bathroom, ensuring both privacy and convenience. The design focuses on accessibility, incorporating wide doorways and non-slip flooring to support residents with mobility challenges. To ensure resident safety and provide peace of mind for families, a monitoring system was installed with built-in floor sensors to detect possible falls, enabling quick response to residents' medical needs.

Seamless Access
Allegion were able to supply the door closer mechanisms, door levers, mortice locks and door stops for almost every door within the development. The Schlage 7000 Series levers provide a sleek appearance with lasting integrity for high traffic areas. Manufactured from stainless steel and designed for durability, the levers are a wise choice for large scale apartment projects. This was paired with the Briton 1120 and 1130 Series door closers in satin chrome finish, complementing the aesthetic appeal and building code compliance. Most importantly, all fittings provided by Allegion were supplied with a warranty of up to 15 years. Designed for security and mobility, Allegion products create peace of mind for reliable door hardware, on any size project. Additionally, Allegion expertly managed the project start to finish, delivering the products ready to install on time and within budget.
