Project location:
- Birkbeck, University of London
Product used:
- Dramatic rooftop extension, clad in Nordic Copper
Project description:
A new lecture theatre appears as a dramatic form, its playfulness enhanced by different forms of copper cladding, protruding from the top of the existing building.
The Nordic Copper is subtly different in colour – which will continue to develop naturally over time – and materiality from the existing building below, expressing the extension as a clearly distinct object and a landmark.
The bold, new copper form embraces the existing building, while its cantilevered façade extends outwards in a welcoming gesture towards the community.
