Working closely with the architect, contractor and installation team, Hunter Douglas manufactured a Multi Panel Façade (MPF) that created a visually impressive finish but that also met strict planning guidelines. Local planners in Sheffield had enjoyed a significant role in this retail development and even requested a last-minute addition to the façade. The close working partnership that is characteristic of all Hunter Douglas projects ensured this late change could be accommodated without scheme over-running. A unique feature of the Tesco scheme was the introduction of what the architects, the Saunders Partnership, called “shards” - flashes of random metal strips cutting through the facade. The Hunter Douglas design team ensured that the MPF was manufactured to integrate the unusual shards.
