A face lift with a difference for the new CERI centre (Centre for Entrepreneurial Research and innovation).
The centre will offer a venue that fosters an environment for generation of innovation and entrepreneurialism.
The design response was to create an architectural expression and philosophy that reflects the values and characteristics of entrepreneurial innovation. Planning constraints informed a design approach that would give the previously unremarkable building a dramatic face lift that reflects the environment within.
This was achieved by creating screening element that sits proud of the existing facade and reflects an intersection of two juxtaposing forces, creative thought and the solid crisp form of industry.
The facade also acts as a environmental screen shading the building and providing a layer of privacy for the occupants within.
