For the second successive year, a design build facades project has been shortlisted for the Facade Awards UK.
Following our York Hospital project in 2024, this year our Hexagon Tower project has been shortlisted in the ‘Best use of a rainscreen system using aluminium’. Owned by The Pioneer Group, this iconic tower block, built in 1973, houses science and technology businesses. The challenging project required close collaboration between Architects Corstorphine & Wright, the client team and design build facades, whose specialist expertise was required in order to deliver the innovative design and installation that fully respected the original design intent of leading modernist architect Richard Seifert.
Cliff Woodhouse, Business Development Director at design build facades, commented, “We are delighted to be short-listed for this prestigious award, especially in a year of unprecedented high-quality entries and look forward to the results being announced in November. This further recognises our achievements as one of the UK’s leading design build overcladding specialists”.
