D Facades precision fabrication solutions transforms King's Lynn Library

As one of the UK’s leading fabrication specialists,

D Facades was proud to play a pivotal role in the

delivery of the new library in the heart of King’s Lynn

- a technically demanding project, led by Hudson

Architects.

A very different and all-encompassing

fabrication project which demanded precision,

collaboration and meticulous execution at every

stage of the process.

Complex Challenges

Transforming a long-vacant commercial structure

(previously home to retail units, offices, car park and

nightclub) into a landmark civic building presented a

complex set of challenges.

Having stood empty for numerous years, the four-

storey concrete sub-frame was widely regarded

locally as an eyesore. The re-development demanded

a carefully coordinated approach to both the

fabrication and installation - with no room for error.

Particularly as the vision for this abandoned space

was the creation of a vibrant destination for learning,

support services and community engagement. A hub

for the whole community, anchored in sustainability and modernity.

Extensive & complex precision fabrication solutions

Specialist fabrication solutions were required

extensively at King’s Lynn. From bespoke

architectural fabrication to the facade, to PPC sleek

window surrounds and copings, to intricate water

outlets - carefully calculated to be just the right size

to capture key functionality, without being intrusive

aesthetically. We were even called on to create these

distinctive bird boxes too. D Facades fabrication

elements were featured broadly.

For this comprehensive project, Q-VENT rainscreen subframe solutions were also incorporated widely; along with the implementation of precision, pre-fabricated Equitone shingle panels.
