The project
For more than 25 years, Entryphone has worked extensively with Shaftesbury Capital (previously Shaftesbury PLC), installing and maintaining door entry and access control systems across its Carnaby and Soho estates.
When Shaftesbury Capital acquired the former National Magazine House at the eastern gateway to Carnaby Street, the building was earmarked for a major redevelopment. The six-storey 1970s building was substantially transformed, creating approximately 54,100 sq ft of office accommodation alongside upgraded retail and residential space.
The challenge
The redevelopment required a reliable and integrated door entry and access control solution across both the commercial and residential areas of the building.
The system also needed to complement the development’s high-quality design, with entrance panels and equipment that fitted seamlessly with the building’s contemporary appearance.
Our solution
Entryphone was selected to provide the door entry and access control systems throughout the development, using our 500-series video system.
The residential apartments were fitted with sleek, flush-mounted FPV stainless steel video monitors, while the offices used conventional 531V handset video monitors.
A PinNet fob access system was installed to provide controlled access throughout the development, including lift control and subsidiary entrances. Bespoke multi-button entrance panels were also manufactured and powder coated to match the building’s curtain walling, with the finish coordinated through the window and door manufacturers.
The fob access system is remotely administered by the landlord’s managing agent, allowing authorised users and access permissions to be managed without the need for an engineer to attend site.

The result
Entryphone delivered an integrated door entry and access control solution across the residential and commercial areas of the development, combining secure access, bespoke design and convenient remote management for the managing agent.
The project demonstrates Entryphone’s ability to provide tailored access control solutions for complex mixed-use developments, from initial installation through to ongoing management and support.
