The brief

What the site needed.

Rocco House is an apartment scheme on Liverpool’s docks, with some of the top-floor units looking straight across to the Liver Building and the Mersey. BBS fitted 1,000 perfect fit pleated blinds across the development, room by room and floor by floor.

Perfect fit brackets clip into the UPVC window frames, so nothing is drilled into the glazing. That suits new-build tenanted units. The soft grey pleated fabric gives residents privacy and light control without taking the skyline off them, and because the colour is the same in every apartment the building reads cleanly from the outside.

A scheme this size is a logistics job as much as a fitting one. Access had to be coordinated across hundreds of units on a live residential site while the quality held from the first apartment to the last. It was still looking sharp two years on.

What we did

A specification shaped around the setting.

Working on site

Planned around the building, not just the windows.

  1. 01

    Plan the access

    Access was coordinated across hundreds of units on a live residential site.

  2. 02

    Fit floor by floor

    Apartments were worked through room by room and floor by floor.

  3. 03

    Hold the standard

    The same quality was kept from the first apartment to the last.

The result

What changed for the space.

One thousand perfect fit blinds went in across the scheme, the facade reads the same from the street, and the job was still looking sharp when the team saw it again two years later.

  • 1,000 perfect fit blinds in a single scheme
  • A consistent facade from the outside
  • Still looking sharp two years on
