A 6-storey walk-up on a corner site: 1,850 m² of stick curtain wall that had to look premium on a build-to-sell budget.

Each chapter records a decision the next project team can evaluate: intent, performance, production and site delivery.
The developer's equation was simple: the envelope is the product. Buyers purchase the street presence first. We developed a stick-system solution with a pronounced cover-cap profile that photographs like a far more expensive envelope.
Repetition did the cost work — two apartment types stacked into an efficient panel grid, with the corner condition engineered as a family of just four special panels instead of bespoke pieces per level.
We supplied the main contractor's crew with level-by-level installation packs: drawings, panel schedule, fixing sequence, torque table. Their facade team ran each floor unsupervised after a supervised first level.
Weather-lapping details and a staged weep design were tested at our works on a full corner mock-up, which the developer signed off before the production cut commenced.
Design & Supply
Envelope cost held within 3% of the developer's target rate per m²
Corner mock-up approved pre-production, avoiding on-site rework
Crew needed supervision on the first level only — then ran independently
