Park Street, uses two\u00a0different cladding metals to create an impressive and dynamic residential facade. Dark coated steel decorates the home’s main structure and Architectural Metals Australia’s (AMA) Zintek\u00ae zinc, completes\u00a0the garage door. Both materials have been folded into an interlocking system, creating a sense of continuity across the design. Identical cladding profiles enhance the obvious colour contrast between Zintek\u00ae and the steel, while still allowing materials to compliment each other.<\/p>\n
In addition to\u00a0light and dark contrast, the two cladding systems also generate an interesting visual texture contrast. The dark steel is smooth and sleek, while Zintek’s\u00ae etched surface appears rough by comparison. Working with different visual textures\u00a0is an effective way of identifying, or isolating spaces and locations across\u00a0a facade, without needing to introduce new materials or wall systems.<\/p>\n
Park Street is an exciting example of how effective combining different metal cladding finishes\u00a0within the one project can be. The two materials provide clear division of space, a dynamic palette, and enhance architectural form and shape.<\/p>\n
