 With the intention of rejuvenating the current style of new residential properties, George Wimpey North and architects ID Partnership have teamed up with fashion designers Wayne and Geraldine Hemmingway for a residential development in Gateshead.
The Staiths South Bank development features some 3,000m? of Kalzip aluminium standing seam roofing. It was selected for its modern appearance and used for both shallow pitch and roofs with saw tooth elevations.
Instead of the standard stucco-embossed, the Hemmingways opted for a plain mill finish roof. There had been concerns that this smooth appearance would be prone to blemishes and marks, however the company claims that the design requirements were met without compromising the aesthetic.
