A development in the rich heritage site of Wandsworth, this Buckhold Road development stands tall and regal.
Project Information
Wandsworth, known for its vibrant history and dynamic community, now boasts a modern marvel – The Bronze. A testament to architectural ingenuity and the unwavering commitment of companies like Kencar. This iconic structure not only stands as a testament to design brilliance but also serves as a symbol of triumph over the challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Bronze building in Wandsworth is a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality. Its striking facade, clad in a specially crafted bronze colour, pays homage to the area’s rich heritage of textile dying and copper processing. The architects envisioned a structure that not only stands as a contemporary masterpiece but also reflects the cultural essence of Wandsworth.
Featuring state-of-the-art facilities and adjacent to King George’s Park, Bronze consists of 79 apartments in a 11, 18 and 20 part storey.
The cladding of the Bronze posed a unique challenge, particularly during the tumultuous times of the pandemic. Kencar, recognised for it’s excellence in architectural fabrication, took on the responsibility of providing a crucial portion of the building’s cladding.
The construction industry faced unprecedented challenges during the pandemic, with the furlough scheme leading to nationwide construction delays. However, Kencar, understanding the urgency and importance of the Bronze project, swiftly adapted to the changing circumstances.
Kencar demonstrated unwavering commitment to the project’s success. We, prioritised the safety of our workforce, resumed operations promptly, creating a safe working environment while adhering to stringent health protocols.
One of the standout features of the Bronze is its distinct bronze colour, specially made to represent the heritage of Wandsworth. This thoughtful choice in colour not only adds visual appeal but also connects the modern structure with the rich history of the surrounding community.
Kencar’s dedication and resilience shone through, as we beat the challenges posed by the pandemic-induced delays. Our commitment to a safe working environment, combined with efficient project management, ensured the Bronze building was completed without any further setbacks for the client or installer.
The Bronze building in Wandsworth stands tall, not just as a modern architectural gem but as a testament to resilience and commitment in the face of unprecedented challenges. Kencar’s integral role in providing cladding and overcoming Covid-induced hurdles showcases our dedication to contributing to a projects completion.
