Hotel’s Contemporary Color-Changing Exterior Enhanced with Superior Coating System
In 2013, the Shubette House in London was due for an upgrade. Commissioned by Pinnacle Developments, architects at HTA Design LLP (Hunt Thompson) was tasked with creating a design that would satisfy the need for a mixed-use space. The intent for the building was that it would be used for commercial, residential and hospitality needs. The end result was a magnificent, color-shifting modular building that became one of London’s tallest modular structures.
There are a plethora of advantages that are typically associated with modular construction. For example, parts are prefabricated off-site. This results in the reduction of on-site waste, and a decreased likelihood of on-site human error. In the case of the mixed-use development, Vision Modular Systems (VMS) manufactured the prefabricated modules, where they were then delivered on-site by crane. Exterior cladding and roofing, however, was installed on site.
