Creating such an unusual facade was no easy feat - Lakesmere worked very closely with main contractor BAM Construction to devise a specification that would satisfy the vision of the extensive design team (headed up by architects Populous), while also providing a practical and economical solution.

The Lakesmere team therefore suggested the use of a built-up cladding system featuring aluminium shingles and perforated rainscreen cladding, which come to life through the use of kaleidoscopic lighting.

DrillFast lacquered fasteners played an essential role in this project – providing a functional yet stylish fastening connection.
