Forza Doors supplies bespoke fire-rated doors to One Smart’s Place in Covent Garden
Discover how Forza Doors supported the distinctive aesthetic while meeting safety and sustainability standards at One Smart’s Place.
Published 04 November 2025
Balancing design vision, regulatory compliance and high-performance finishes, One Smart’s Place is an award-winning development occupying a prominent corner site in Covent Garden.
The scheme offers over 3,000 sq ft of premium Cat A+ workspace and a 1,200 sq ft business lounge “The Press”, reimagining the ground floor as a dynamic, flexible environment designed for modern hybrid working.
Recognised for its architectural excellence and sustainability credentials, the project sets a new benchmark for next-generation workspace in central London.
Specialist subcontractor GPL Projects were briefed to deliver Thirdway’s bold design vision, an expressive, hospitality-inspired space that breaks away from the corporate norm. Working on behalf of Baumont Real Estate, GPL collaborated with Forza Doors to supply bespoke FD60 and FD120 fire doors, providing 60 and 120 minutes of fire resistance, respectively.
The interiors at One Smart’s Place reject the neutral palette typical of commercial offices. Bold burgundy and scarlet tones, paired with natural materials and warm woods, evoke the atmosphere of an exclusive members’ lounge.
To meet Thirdway’s design intent, both bespoke FD60 and FD120 fire doors and solid timber frames were stained and finished in-house to match the project control samples, ensuring colour consistency and design integrity throughout the space.
All fire doors used in the project were manufactured and third-party certified to meet UK regulations and client-specific requirements. Forza Doors’ ongoing investment in fire testing and certification, including verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) reassured GPL and Thirdway through proven safety and sustainability performance.
