Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), one of the largest and most influential architecture, interior design, engineering and urban planning firms in the world, has specified Axalta Coating for its Manhattan Loft Gardens project. The unique structure coated in Axalta Alesta products will be a prominent addition to the famous London skyline, offering a new take on London garden squares by creating an environment suited to neighbourhood life and the development of urban biodiversity.
SOM chose Anodic Natura from Axalta’s Anodic Collection, a range of powder finishes offering a viable alternative to the anodising look. The collection is designed to give specifiers a flawless aesthetic appearance at a competitive price, with all the technical and environmental benefits of a powder coating. Alesta AP was applied on the internal portion of the façade; on exposed elements, SOM chose Axalta’s super durable powder coating Alesta SD. The products will be delivered to Reynaers Polska, the coater of aluminium profiles for the Manhattan Loft Gardens project.
