Studies show a high correlation between daylighting and increased comfort and productivity, making Kalwall an ideal solution for school renovations. This 1958 concrete framed building, located in Southall, Middlesex, was failing due to decay and ingress of water, and needed structural stabilization. DSP Architecture was appointed to repair and encapsulate the frame, resulting in a stunning transformation into a very modern teaching block befitting its outstanding Ofsted rating and complementing the other new school buildings. “The client specifically requested Kalwall for this project after seeing how well it worked on our previous project for the adjoining 6th form building," said Geraldine Walder, project architect at DSP.

A new curtainwall flanks the Odeon Theatre’s main signage, giving it the symbolic feel of two large screens that hint of the cinematic excitement inside. The Odeon features 10 screens, reclining seats and a play area for kids in front of select screens. The concession area looks like something dreamed up at the Willy Wonka Candy Co.
