In the heart of White City, London, a groundbreaking project is shaping the future of urban development – EdCity. Working with main contractor Bowmer + Kirkland, architects tp bennett, and specialist Stofix installers, Caxton Facades, EdCity is a testament to collaboration and innovation.
Stofix products was utilised throughout block C of this project – a 95,000 sq ft office building of the highest grade, complete with terraces, meeting spaces, and a crowning top-floor penthouse. Architect, tp bennett’s vision called for a grey rustic/handmade appearance brick that was in keeping with the surrounding developments. A striking white detail band course was essential to complement the concrete banding on neighbouring buildings.
Stofix stepped up to meet these design demands.
tp bennett’s Project Director Chris Ansell commented, “Stofix were very proactive, engaged and supportive in helping us to specify a brick and mortar which was in line with the design concept and was compatible with their system. This is a landmark project in the commercial office sector to be clad with brick slips with a contemporary and elegant aesthetic. The detailing and depth of relief on the façade is well resolved and gives a good overall appearance”.
B+K Project Director, Paul Smith commented “The whole team, including client and stakeholders are delighted with the new EdCity office building. All have expressed how impressively it sits within the project and clearly the Stofix façade, expertly installed by Caxton Facades plays a large part in the impressive vista. The detailing and close attention to installation tolerances has undoubtedly played a large part in the sharp appearance of the Stofix brick slip façade”.
