Solution
Lang+Fulton developed a bespoke grating design with with the architects, to be used as wall cladding on the multi-storey car park.
The 90x200mm aperture grating panels, with an unusually deep 70x4mm section flat bar, were designed to give the extensive facade a strong visual impact.
Lang+Fulton worked with Consulting Engineers, WA Fairhurst & Partners, on the primary and secondary steel framework of supporting channels and SHS posts and rails. The posts and rails were surface-mounted to create a decorative grid pattern.
