The Jaguar Land Rover, Southport showroom in Queensland achieves a spectacular look in a simple form. For a showroom to work the architecture needs to frame and not dominate an effect achieved by use of simple lines and sympathetic materials. For this high-end development builder Stokes Wheeler selected Vitracore G2 as the preferred façade solution.
The use of Vitracore G2 provided a premium finish to the building envelope which is faithful to Jaguar Land Rover’s corporate colours and preferred not only for the aesthetic appeal but also for its fire compliance.
Project Manager Jai Johnson stated, ‘In addition to matching the corporate identity colours, the project also required customised lengths, up to 5900mm, which proved to be completely within the Vitracore G2’s capabilities. In contrast to previous projects using standard composite materials, no oil canning or bending is visible on the Vitracore G2 sheets – a testament to their rigidity and strength. Another bonus for Stokes Wheeler is that Vitracore G2 complies with current BCA requirements’.
