We’re proud to reveal that Architectural Panel Solutions has been shortlisted for an award at the Façade Awards 2022 - a celebration of the very best in façade design across the UK from the past year.
About the project:
The shortlisted award is for our impressive Filmworks Petrarch project - the result of an exciting collaboration with Richardson Roofing, and talented architect tp bennett for our client Berkeley Group Plc.
For a building with such status and heritage, both St. George and TP Bennett turned to rainscreen and framing solutions which would not only capture exactly the right image and retain the splendour of a bygone age, yet stand up to the most demanding requirements.
As a £100m mixed-use regeneration scheme comprising all of this: 209 new homes, a central square, lined with bars, restaurants, and featuring a double-height eight-screen Picturehouse Cinema (the biggest outside London’s West End) the demands and rigour demanded of the chosen building materials were to be immense.
Predominantly the use of recyclable, sustainable and highly durable rainscreen solutions and framing was sought. Petrarch engineered stone panels are created from 80% recycled by-product crushed stone and marble and have a life-span in excess of 50 years. Additionally it boasts an A2 fire rating, and high impact/ graffiti resistant qualities all of which made it an ideal choice. The fact that it blends in perfectly with heritage stone was a key contributing factor to the contractor choosing it as a preferred material.
About the awards:
'Brought to you by the publishers of RCI Magazine, the main aim of the awards is to raise awareness of the critical role façades play in modern architecture, reward excellence in façade design and promote the importance of collaboration between product manufacturers and contractors.'
Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony taking place on Friday 4 November, 2022 at The Midland Hotel in Manchester. Book your place at the awards today by visiting:
