Project details
Collaborating closely with structural engineers and other stakeholders, our team navigated the intricate process of integrating these elements seamlessly into the architectural vision. One of the critical challenges we addressed was the design of prefabricated steel frames, carefully considering building movement and installation sequences to align with the architect’s geometric aspirations. The corrugated perforated screens, crafted into striking triangular shapes, required detailed planning to ensure structural integrity while upholding the aesthetic intent of the project.
Moreover, we focused on optimisingthe project’s cost-effectiveness, particularly in the value engineering of the perforated screens through careful selection of aluminium grades and thicknesses. Our team also played a pivotal role in coordinating with framing suppliers to deliver facade window glazing solutions that met rigorous thermal and wind pressure requirements.
Working on such a significant educational facility resonates deeply with our team, as we understand the profound impact of this college on future generations. We take pride in contributing our expertise to projects that support learning environments, ensuring they not only meet functional demands but also inspire and enrich the educational experience.
