Red Architectural - Portfolio
Architect - Hopkins Architects, London
Main Contractor - Bowmer & Kirkland
Value - £800k
Description - As part of the large re-development of the University's City Centre Campus, the scheme involved construction of a contemporary glass, vaulted central court building linking the grade II listed Newton & Arkwright buildings.

Architect - Nightingale Associates
Main Contractor - Mace Plus
Value - £1.6m
Description - Designed in collaboration with Make Architects, the purpose of this new building is to provide the adjoining Sir William Dunn School of Pathology with state-of-the-art, flexible laboratory spaces and computer services facilities.
A brise soleil constructed from horizontal aerofoil shaped terracotta baguettes forms a striking design feature. Designed by Red and hung onto extruded brackets fixed back through the unitised system, these baguettes shade the glazed northern and southern facades against solar gain. Vertical standing fins integrated into the system along the northern side shield the interior against morning and evening low angle sunlight.
The façade system chosen for the building was the bead glazed version of Schuco's SU90 unitised curtain wall system. 20% of the facility's energy needs will be met by on-site renewables including a CHP plant, a borehole groundsource heat pump, solar water heating and an absorption cooling process that uses heat generated by the computers to cool the building.

Value - £8m
Description - Project Duo is a 20,000 sq ft office development for SEGRO. It comprises four office buildings and a café pavilion which create a self-contained campus of civic quality within the IQ Farnborough Business Park.
The use of a mixture of feature precast concrete panels and Schüco FW60+ curtain walling plus Red's own Fluvista aluminium rainscreen to the façades provides four-storey office accommodation of exceptional quality; the building also benefits from Schüco RS 65 doors and its overall appearance has been further enhanced by extensive landscaping. The development is supported by a 7-storey car park.
The requirements of the tenant were very demanding and the success of the deal hinged on the ability to deliver the office accommodation only 69 weeks after signing the contract. This required a supreme combined effort by the architects, the main contractor and Red Architectural, but the quality of the finished product speaks for itself.
