Axalta Coats London Skyline with its Alesta Anodic Collection
January 12 2017 - 4:43PM
Business Wire
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), one of the largest and
most influential architecture, interior design, engineering, and
urban planning firms in the world, has specified Axalta Coating
Systems (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global supplier of liquid and
powder coatings, for its Manhattan Loft Gardens project. The unique
structure coated in Axalta Alesta® products will be a prominent
addition to the famous London skyline, offering a new take on
London garden squares by creating an environment suited to
neighborhood life and the development of urban biodiversity.
Kyotec Group, which offers installation of high-quality curtain
walls, is also renowned for maintaining very close relationships
with developers, contractors and architects. In December of 2014,
Kyotec chose to reach out to Axalta after their successful
partnership on one of the tallest residential skyscrapers in Poland
and the European Union, Zlota 44. Kyotec and Axalta worked together
to carefully select samples that would best fulfill SOM’s unique
vision for Manhattan Loft Gardens.
SOM ultimately chose Anodic Natura from Axalta’s Anodic
Collection, a range of powder finishes offering a viable
alternative to the anodizing look. The collection is designed to
give specifiers a flawless aesthetic appearance at a competitive
price, with all the technical and environmental benefits of a
powder coating. Alesta AP was applied on the internal portion of
the façade; on exposed elements, SOM chose Axalta’s super durable
powder coating Alesta SD. The products will be delivered to
Reynaers Polska, the coater of aluminum profiles for the Manhattan
Loft Gardens project.
“This iconic project demonstrates Axalta’s capabilities to
handle international projects as a united global team by supporting
the architect in London, the fabricator and the system house in
Belgium and the applicator in Poland,” says Michael Cash, Axalta’s
President of Industrial coatings. “It also shows our determination
in fully understanding our customer’s projects and designing to
achieve their vision. That level of partnership and co-creation is
Axalta’s competitive advantage, and the success of our customers
and end-users is our ultimate goal.”
Manhattan Loft Gardens will be located next to Stratford
International Station and High Speed 1, the Channel Tunnel rail
link. The 42-story tower will include 248 apartments above a
150-room hotel, a spa, a triple-height lobby and two restaurants.
The unique structure of the building will feature two cantilevers,
which support three sky gardens giving unobstructed views across
London. Work is due to be completed in the Spring of 2018.
