Transforming The Face Of Retail
Central Arcade is the re-development project currently transforming the face of retailing in Leeds City centre. Central Arcade has utilised a number of robust, striking Stainless Steel column casing systems to fuse Leeds’ heritage for Victorian arcades with a clean, contemporary aesthetic.
The column casings, supplied in a range of shapes and sizes by architectural fabrication specialists Contour Casings, were specified to compliment the latest architectural trends in this major design-led commercial scheme.
The 100% sustainable square and circular column casings are located in a bright, double-height atrium, capped with an expansive glass roof which floods the sleek lines and contemporary space with natural light.
Fabrication specialists at Contour employ advanced manufacturing techniques to deliver a product pure in form and dimensional consistency, with inherent low maintenance qualities and fast-fix technology. Contour can offer the most comprehensive column casing range available, capable of yielding either a striking visual statement, or a product which disappears effortlessly into the building aesthetic.
Design consultants at Contour, who offer a nationwide service, conduct a complimentary site survey before adopting a client-facing approach to identify the most suitable column casing solution which sits comfortably within the scheme parameters. A professional service package includes short lead times, a 3-D CAD facility used for client approval and dedicated technical and delivery teams. Contour’s approach delivers projects on time and on budget, taking responsibility from concept through to installation.
