PROJECT TYPE: Commercial/Retail
LOCATION: 1014 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC
About The Project
Recently we worked with Cutler Design Group and Peregrine Build to supply unique lightweight concrete wall panels, manufactured by Richter®, that were designed and assembled to realize their Adrenaline customer specific design aesthetic. It was an honor working alongside these two companies and to be able to support the realization of a completed retail design space that is amazing and inspiring.
Specifications
- Entry done in Richter Light Beton in Classic Grey colour, 2mm Real Concrete mounted to 18mm MDF.
- Counter and clothing stand were made with Richter Light Beton in Classic Anthrazit, 2mm real concrete mounted to 18mm MDF.
- Sheet sizes were 49” x 119”
The Challenge
The grand entrance between the store and the studio has a concrete finish that allows unique CNC engraving deep into the Light Beton panel. If this would have been a standard precast stone or concrete it would be too heavy and cost prohibitive to produce and for more difficult and complex to work with to achieve the desired finish.
The Result
The solution we were able to provide was the Richter Light Beton, which is a 2mm thick real concrete veneer, mounted to MDF so it can be processed and finished with traditional woodworking and cabinetry tools and techniques. This facilitated their millwork facility (Acorn) the ability to create a beautiful and seamless design with this product while displaying all the industrial design characteristics of formed concrete.
