High-rise Retrofit Project

Close-up of modern building facade with vertical metal panels and large glass windows reflecting blue sky. Visible through windows, there's a conference room with a table and chairs, and a potted plant.

This case study explores the refurbishment of a high-rise building constructed in the late 1960s. The façade consists of aluminium rainscreen cladding panels, replicating the pattern of the building's original design. The openings are framed by a modern curtain wall system. The building features a highly efficient envelope with a signature rainscreen cladding system that emphasises the authentic appearance of the façade, complemented by modern, high-tech glazing.

Professional development certificate with text about completing a short course on facade design and engineering from the Institute for Architectural Science and Technology, UK. Includes a British flag and an image of a brick building facade.
