Häfele UK are proud to announce that their products were selected by the Architects, Rogers Stirk Harbour for their 'Maggies Centre' project in London which has been awarded the 2009 RIBA Stirling Prize for the building of the year.
The Architects selected Häfele's high performance sliding systems - Hawa Junior 80 and Junior 120 which are designed to give silent finger touch operation even with heavy wooden doors weighing up to 120kgs each. The systems are also tested up to and far beyond the EN standard 1527 for sliding door systems guaranteeing many years of trouble free use.
This was the first Maggie's Centre in England although there are several in Scotland (some of which also have Hafele sliding systems installed) and they are cancer care centres which are designed as a non institutional home from home to provide care and advice to people affected by cancer. Some of the world's most famous architects have designed for Maggie's Centres whose founder Maggie Keswick Jencks had a profound belief that architecture and environment can deeply affect how you feel. Everything at the London Maggie's centre is geared towards creating a warm domestic environment: most of the doors are sliding so that people can feel free to walk anywhere they want.
