THE WATTS HOUSE PROJECT
BERRY SYSTEMS PROVIDE CLADDING AND FAÇADE EXPERTISE FOR AWARD WINNING CAR PARK DESIGN
The eye-catching aesthetics of the Watts House project at the University of Brighton played a big role in winning the prestigious Best New Car Park category at the British Parking Awards in 2020 . Berry Systems designed the cladding and façades that were key to securing this accolade .
The car park features perforated panels in six different colours , as well as a Green Wall Trellis System to create outstanding aesthetics on the exterior of the structure . The panels are arranged with lighter colours at the top so that the façade lightens as the height of the building increases , reducing the perceived mass and volume of the building and softening it against its backdrop . Planter boxes are also incorporated at the top of the façade to fit in with the green aesthetics of the project , another factor that contributed to it being named Car Park of the Year .
With years of invaluable experience , Berry ’ s extensive industry and product knowledge enables them to work closely with architects right from the early design stage and manage projects from conception to completion – and not just for cladding and facades .
Berry has grown in recent years to expand its scope of services into a wide range of industries , including perimeter security as part of the HS Security group . Berry ’ s knowledge of such a wide range of industries means architects and specifiers can benefit from end-to-end solutions for cladding and façade projects , as well as perimeter security and car park projects .
The Watts House car park was the perfect example of Berry Systems ’ cladding and façade design expertise and showed how they use their extensive knowledge of the supply chain to provide support all the way through to installation .
