A series of stunning balconies finished in gold have added a touch of luxury
to the recently completed “Residence” project, part of the Vauxhall Nine Elms
regeneration plan in South London.
Each balcony features a series of sophisticated aluminium soffits and fascia
panels finished in gold anodised that provide a 3D symmetry to the balconies
and building’s exterior.
The external finish to these balconies was the brainchild of specialist
metal architectural fabricator Metalline, who employed the art of Origami to
develop the intricate shapes required for each of the soffits and fascia
panels.
Called in by independent façade engineers Wintech, Metalline’s manufacturing
team set about producing a variety of routered and pressed folding techniques
to produce over 160 unique fascias and soffits for the project.
Metalline are no stranger to specialist architectural fabrication and are
regularly called on to fabricate aluminium pressings, insulated panels and
rainscreen facades, in interesting shapes and sizes for the external finishes
of all types of buildings.
