Huber Car Parks Innovate with Petrarch PlanX

Project Cambridge, ARM Peterhouse Multi-Storey Car Park, United Kingdom

Huber, the name behind the UK’s most innovative car park designs, turned to Petrarch, our innovative reconstituted stone rainsceeen facade, to realise its new vision for Peterhouse multi-storey car park.

The background

‘HUBER was commissioned to erect this new multi-storey car park at 110 Fulbourne Road, in Peterhouse Technologies Park, Cambridge - part of the ARM Headquarters estate. With a total of 501 parking bays the facility eases the parking situation at the commercial estate.

‘The façades of the structure are clad in Petrarch reconstituted stone rainscreen panels.

These are reconstituted stone panels to render a visually stunning façade solution which simulates the colour and texture of natural stone.’ Huber Car Parks

Sales Director, Tom Walker, who had this to say about the project.

‘I was really pleased to see our Petrarch reconstituted stone facade installed to a fantastically high standard, across both the original phase, some 5 years ago and the more recent extension, creating a seamless link between the two parts of the project. The spectacular design of the façade coupled with this high-quality installation has delivered a beautiful example of Petrarch applied in two very different yet equally stunning styles, expressing the characteristics of natural stone.’

In terms of both the product and service Huber has commended the APS package and very succinctly yet precisely asserted! ‘Fantastic product and fantastic customer service.’

Given that the second phase features new material, the client was super-impressed with how the old and new blend so well. Given the natural ageing qualities of Petrarch (emulating weathered stone), it makes it ideal in such instances.
