Since the beginning of 2011 Birmingham's skyline has been dominated by an architectural highlight: "The Cube". This extravagant 70 metre tall building complex with its remarkable golden facade shimmers with the multi-faceted vibrant reflections of different shades of bronze.
The architect Ken Shuttleworth of MAKE Architects describes his design as the “jewel”, which accommodates a 17-storey luxury apartment complex; 10,359 square meters of exclusive shops and offices; Birmingham's first boutique hotel; and a panoramic rooftop restaurant.
An 18,000 m² facade was created by HAGA Aluminium Fabricators fromanodized aluminum J57S, which gives the building its distinctive shining golden appearance: 8250 different gold coloured pre-anodized aluminum cubic panels were used.
The decision to combine aluminum and glass not only ensures optimal light conditions, but from an environmental point of view also saves energy.
