Design and 3d Fabrication
45 Park Lane, London:
The Office of Thierry Despont hired SITU Fabrication to provide a series of facade panels for the Dorchester Hotel in London.
I worked with SITU Fabrication to develop design development models and geometry, materials.
The intent was to create the perception of a continuous metallic surface flowing from the top of the building to its base. The 24 custom panels are made of CNC-milled foam coated in a polyurethane resin hardcoat and finished in LuminOre White Bronze.
Once the geometry was finalized we provided design-engineering services to develop a construction which has the luster of cast bronze while minimizing weight and cost. To meet these criteria, the panels consist of CNC-milled high-density foam, which is then hard-coated with polyurethane resin and finished in cold-sprayed LuminOre White Bronze. A fiber-reinforced plastic and steel armature, embedded within each panel, improves the stability of each panel and provides anchor points for mounting to the building envelope.https://situ.nyc/fabrication/projects/45-park-lane
