Project Overview: West Thurrock, Grays, UK

​

Scope of work: DesignFit was tasked with designing a contemporary façade solution for a prestigious project in West Thurrock, Grays, UK. The project aimed to create a visually striking and high-performance building envelope by integrating Wicona's innovative curtain wall, window, and door systems.

 

Design and Materials Selection

• Wicona Curtain Wall System: A bespoke curtain wall system was designed to meet the specific requirements of the project, incorporating a combination of fixed and operable glazing.

• High-Performance Glass: Low-E glass with advanced coatings was selected to optimize thermal performance and reduce energy consumption.

• Aluminium Profiles: Durable and weather-resistant aluminium profiles were used to create a sleek and minimalist aesthetic.

 

Fabrication Drawings

To ensure accurate fabrication and installation, detailed fabrication drawings were created for:

• Pressed Metal: Precision-engineered pressed metal components were designed to connect the curtain wall elements and provide structural support.

• Brackets: Customized brackets were fabricated to secure the curtain wall system to the building structure.

​

DesignFit's meticulous selection of high-performance materials and adherence to precise fabrication standards, coupled with our expertise in Facade design services, including Curtain wall design services, resulted in a façade solution that not only met functional requirements but also significantly enhanced the building's aesthetic appeal and long-term performance.
