Project Description

Skying the Stone

Milne + Stonehouse

ADS were engaged at concept stage to provide pre-visual concept renders and once commissioned, provide design and documentation services for manufacture and installation.

The eliptical shape of the rings required a fabricator with specialist CNC rolling capabilities. To ensure accuracy of the glazing framework, templates were utilised.
During fabrication, the head contractor suffered a significant injury and so the semi-complete items were transferred to a new metal fabricator. The quality of the documentation ensured a seemless transfer and ensured the already tight deadline was met.
All parts were carefully designed to facilitate fabrication, glazing, transportation and installation.
