CONCERT
White Ink Architects worked alongside Design & Build Contractor McAleer & Rushe to develop the planning approved design by Powell Dobson Architects . Together , the consultants incorporated characterful features such as a façade encompassing three types of materials : a combination of light and dark limestone and basalt cladding ; metal rainscreen cladding acting as a golden feature and glazed masonry elements running vertically . A bespoke perforated aluminium sheeting adds texture to one elevation and a bronze anodized aluminium , serves as a unique feature to another elevation .
