The Fairfax
Bristol
Supporting the architect’s concept to revitalise the podium, Britplas have installed curtain walling thermally broken doors and windows, cladding and soffits for this 1960’s refurbishment project.
Project details
The refurbishment of one of Bristol’s commercial landmark buildings has created facilities and space to meet the demand of modern tenants. Britplas’ bespoke and standard solutions have helped the architects achieve their vision for the building.
The Fairfax, Bristol involved the refurbishment of a 1960’s era 14-storey office building that is split into a 4-floor podium with an 11-storey tower. The concept was to regenerate a significant commercial landmark to compliment the rising demand of modern tenants. Britplas helped achieve the architect’s concept of revitalizing the podium by designing and installing new SG glazing to the new double height reception area, then finishing the surrounds with contemporary cladding, soffits and columns.
The existing podium façade was refreshed and modernised with new floor to ceiling glazing and bespoke angled featured metal /mesh panels. These provided a sleek modern aesthetic and maximized the active frontage to all parts of the building.
The tower had a lighter touch applied, with replacement windows and panels that reconnect it to the podium ensuring a modern design consistency.
