We were appointed to design a research laboratory to house a multi-million pound robot. The robot undertakes micro-experiments for research purposes, which can be operated remotely from anywhere in the world.
Built as an extension to an existing building, the client was keen to ensure the new build reflected the technology within its walls. The 12x13 metre extension, allowed space for the three metre tall L-shaped robot and its computer technology. The services routes are exposed amongst the visible structural elements thus linking to the industrial theme. Its box like appearance is enhanced by a featured glazed corner wall to showcase the contents to passers by, a low-pitch roof and open steel frame structure finished with aluminium square cassette cladding and straight façades. A complete contrast to the existing structure. |
