AVION COURT

Residential Apartments

Frameclad were appointed by the main contractor to provide innovative light steel framing solutions for the Avion Court development in Crawley. Located in close proximity to Gatwick Airport, Avion Court comprises 137 modern residential apartments. Frameclad designed, manufactured and supplied the steel framing system, delivering on time and to budget.

Situated in a highly desirable location in the town centre of Crawley, Avion Court is a development of high-quality, contemporary residential apartments. Formerly a 1970s office tower, this commercial unit required an extensive transformation from the ground up. The project involved the addition of four storeys on top of the existing structure and overhauling the current cladding to create individual balconies for each apartment.

Case Studies

Waitrose

This uniquely shaped building designed by B&R Architects is on the site of the former Bellerby Theatre in Guildford. Main Contractor Bowmer & Kirkland were tasked with building a new Waitrose food store on the ground floor with 30 apartments and 18 affordable homes on the tapering floors above. Several of these enjoyed roof gardens which are sheltered by high parapet walls constructed from Frameclad SFS.

Infill To Primary Frame Case Study

The Chocolate Factory

Located in a prominent area of Edinburgh the scheme consisted of 3 blocks of student accommodation. Frameclad supplied all of the frames and floor cassettes to form the three-storey structure. The developer was keen to use some of the previous buildings stonework which were incorporated in the external cladding of the cottage building.
