DuPont™ Corian® is increasingly valued as a versatile, high-performance solution for façade systems and has been applied in imaginative ways to a wide variety of construction projects internationally, from private villas to hotels and public buildings.
Alison Brooks Architects has first-hand experience of the considerable benefits that DuPont™ Corian® can bring to a project, as the multiple award-winning Lens House by the practice features the material to its angular ventilated façade. This was the first significant cladding project with DuPont™ Corian® in the UK and the design has since been recognised not only with RIBA National and London awards, but also a shortlisting for the Manser Medal and trophies from the Architzer and Grand Designs awards.
