Project Location: Ilkeston, UK

 

Scope of work: DesignFit was tasked with designing a contemporary façade solution for a prestigious project in Ilkeston, UK. The project aimed to create a visually striking and high-performance building envelope by integrating Technal's innovative curtain wall, window, and door systems.

 

Design and Materials Selection

• Technal 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 aluminium profiles were used to create a sleek and minimalist aesthetic.

 

Fabrication Drawings

To ensure accurate fabrication and installation, detailed fabrication drawings were created for:

• Pressed Metal: Precision-engineered pressed metal components were designed to connect the curtain wall elements and provide structural support.

• Brackets: Customized brackets were fabricated to secure the curtain wall system to the building structure.

​

​DesignFit's conscientious selection of high-performance materials and precision in fabrication resulted in a façade solution that not only met functional requirements but also significantly enhanced the building's aesthetic appeal and long-term performance.
