Volvo Showroom

About

One of the major challenges of the project was transforming the existing concrete masonry and fibre cement sheet façade into a translucent light-box to meet the new Volvo international corporate image requirements. Due to the existing building structures proximity to the boundaries, we had a limited space of 60mm outside the existing building envelope to work with.

We built a mock-up of the glass façade in the office with a 60mm cavity backlit with LED lighting strips. Over the next few weeks we trialled a multitude of different types and colours of glass before deciding on the final specification and detailing. The end result exceeded our expectations and has completely transformed the building.
