Panel curtain wall CANADA SQUARE

aluminum and glassstainless steel

Project Feature The building was built at the same time of 8 Canada Square, DS2 located on the other side of the square. The cladding design for the 45-story Citigroup headquarters tower at Canary Wharf was conceived as a tapestry of stainless steel elements. The Linen Finish stainless steel grid not only gives the tower its formal order, enhances its height; it also interacts with the super-grid of the adjacent building, designed by Foster + Partners, and unites the two buildings to form a common building base. Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects worked with us to develop creative details for the stainless steel elements where all vertical elements are bent and fastened together as a singular cladding panel. The main cladding system is a panelized curtain wall - aluminum on the inside and stainless steel on the outside - with vision glass and shadow boxes in front of the floorslab. Scope of Work 53,000 sqm (570,500 sq ft) of cladding and curtain wall.
