Cavendish House

Simple design and pleasant cityscape go hand in hand with quality of life. This is the vision that inspires the Cavendish House project in Norwich, UK. The harmonious integration of the old brick structure and the new ventilated façade composed of GammaStone panels was guaranteed by the rational shapes of the building and the solemnity of the stone (limestone grey Jura). Thanks to its patented foaming technology, GammaStone has achieved significant results in terms of material continuity in this façade system. In other words, the panels installed in the façade are large, despite the considerable weight of the natural stone used for this project.

In addition, the quality of the finish has made it possible to overcome the technical problems deriving from the high dimensional disparity between the elements of many corners of the façade. Surprisingly GammaStone has realised non-monolithic corners of great aesthetic effect simply by combining the different elements and providing a separate anchorage to the support structure for each element.
