Intricate cladding specification for a hotel and cinema at Elwick Place in Kent provides a useful example of how sticking to one manufacturer can pay off for architects
Elwick Place is a 100,000 sq ft leisure and restaurant development in Ashford, Kent.
Rainscreen systems company Bailey has tested, developed and manufactured a custom cladding design for its new-build hotel and cinema.
The project exemplifies the success of single source rainscreen manufacture.
The project involved a successful collaboration with Guy Hollaway Architects and sub contractor Prater helped bring the building to life.
The facades consist of a range of cassette panels in bronze and black, expanded mesh cladding and perforated panels, all in various shapes and sizes, with integrated curves and bespoke roof and wall interfacing.
The intricate design needed to be delivered within stringent architectural constraints. Bailey worked in a cooperative partnership to supply high quality systems on time and within budget.
Products were delivered to site with practical, high quality packaging and meticulous transport logistics, cementing the strong partnership between manufacturer, specialist contractor and architect.
'I knew I could pick up the phone and speak to the team at Bailey and that any issues would be resolved,' says project architect Mike Pearson. 'The people of Ashford love Elwick Place. It has received an amazing response.'
