Project Location: London, UK

Scope of work: DesignFit was commissioned to design a contemporary façade that would seamlessly blend with the city's rich architectural heritage. The project involved integrating Schüco's innovative façade systems and Petrarch Panels' exquisite finishes to create a visually stunning and high-performance building envelope.

Design and Materials Selection

Schüco Curtain Wall System: A bespoke curtain wall system was designed to meet the specific requirements of the project, incorporating a combination of fixed and operable glazing.
High-Performance Glass: Low-E glass with advanced coatings was selected to optimize thermal performance and reduce energy consumption.
Aluminium Profiles: Durable and weather-resistant aluminum profiles were used to create a sleek and minimalist aesthetic.
Petrarch Omnis Panels: These high-quality panels were used to create a visually striking and durable façade, complementing the modern design aesthetic.
Custom-Made Aluminium Soffit Panels: These panels were designed to seamlessly integrate with the curtain wall and Petrarch panels, providing a cohesive and sophisticated look.

BIM Modeling with Revit 2017

To ensure accurate design and coordination, a detailed BIM model of the façade was created using Revit 2017. This model allowed for precise visualization, clash detection, and coordination with other building systems.

DesignFit's innovative approach, coupled with advanced engineering techniques and BIM technology, resulted in a façade solution that not only met functional requirements but also significantly enhanced the building's aesthetic appeal and long-term performance.
