Welcome to Kingston-upon-Thames
The Smith, in London’s Kingston-upon-Thames, is a new commercial real estate development. Completed in April 2021, this 40,000sqft new development offers a mixture of lease types including conventional leases, coworking, serviced offices, and managed space. Featuring a contemporary reception area with a coffee lounge and space for breakout or informal meetings the development delivers a flexible workspace to suit today’s requirements. This Grade A office refurbishment provides a welcoming feel and promotes a healthy working environment with open-plan offices and roof terraces.
A modern working environment
In order to control access to the building, Speed Gates were chosen to be installed in the reception, prior to entering the lift lobby. Meesons installed four EasyGate Superb Speed Gates lanes, consisting of three standard width lanes and one EA compliant wide access lane suitable for wheelchair access.
The EasyGate Superb was selected due to its slim, stylish design cabinet which complemented the on-trend reception and office space. The subtle illuminated top lid and passage lights of the Superb cabinets provided intuitive lane guidance to users, along with matching the contemporary feel.
Small footprint security with high functionality
The slim cabinet design enabled the maximum number of lanes to be fitted within the restricted space. The wide access lane was able to be positioned directly in front of the platform lift to improve the passage into the building for wheelchair use, deliveries, and pushchair users.
Provided in a brushed stainless steel finish the Superb cabinets complemented the internal décor of the reception and lift lobby.

Remote control for enhanced security
An EasyTouch LCD capacitive remote control console was supplied to enable the control of the Speed Gates at the touch of a button, all from the reception desk positioned on the lower level. The remote console helps to manage access to the building for a mixture of clients.
The Smith was designed with enhanced energy conservation provisions and the low power consumption of the Superb aided this target.
Stylish secure access
The EasyGate Superb’s slim cabinet and stylish design with illuminated top lids complement the on-trend new development perfectly.
“From the initial meeting to the final installation everything went smoothly. The Meesons team worked well to overcome some of the challenges that arose during the installation. Overall, we are really happy with the end result and feel the lanes fit well with the aesthetics of the reception.”
