Wates Construction have remodelled an existing 1960's building for British Land on Oxford Steet in London, using Kinetic Facades and new full height glazed corners on the building. The building is occupied by Debenhams and has also had new shop fronts and a small amount of internal refurbishment work. The 370,000 sq ft department store now has an innovative over-cladding system conceived by world renowned artist and sculptor Ned Kahn in conjunction with Archial Norr, that creates a captivating interactive façade in keeping with the site's prominent location next to the upgraded Bond Street underground and Crossrail station. The building's façade appears to ripple fluidly as the wind activates thousands of suspended aluminium panels. As it responds to the ever-changing patterns of the wind, the façade creates a direct interface between the built and natural environments. Wates Construction. British Land. Christal Management. RLB.
