Challenge

North Kent Police HQ is a four-storey landmark building of 11,500m2.

Glenn Howells Architects were responsible for developing the building concept, which features a number of ‘green’ technologies including solar shading to the south facade, provided by means of brise soleil.

Solution

Lang+Fulton supplied the steel louvred cladding panels and support steelwork for the generator housing. The panels were made from Italia-100, which is an extremely robust louvred material, providing 100% visusal screening and a high level of security.

Outcome

The generator housing perfectly complements the overall architectural design.

Louvre Italia-100 was also used for the inner perimeter fencing, again helping to reinforce the design aesthetic across the entire project.
