Powder Coated Sheet Metal Detailing Explained

Lotus Cars Research and Development Centre - detail

An affordable precision engineered finish..... ...............  

 

'May I take this opportunity to congratulate you and your colleagues on the superb way in which you have detailed our cladding system into the building envelope’        (Ron Fitch – Director  - AME Euro) Lotus Cars’ Research and Development Centre)


 

Award winning performance specification and design intent approach. 

 

The following projects all use simple but innovative sheet metal detailing techniques to achieve an affordable precision engineered finish. These techniques were originally pioneered on the  Lotus Cars' Research and Development Centre working with the Dutch cladding company Prince Cladding BV using the AME Euro panel system. The sheet metal works for the four subsequent projects listed below have been carried out by four different UK companies working to a performance specification and design intent drawings produced by Teather + Walls Architects. All four projects have been recognised with Norfolk or Suffolk Association of Architects craftsmanship awards - see Awards.
