Iconic Bullring feature in stainless steel

Story

Redevelopment of the 40-acre Bullring site by the Bullring Alliance is another example of a high profile project featuring prominent use of stainless steel. Aperam UGISAND was used to create an iconic, subtly curving focal point on Spiceal Street adjacent to Selfridge’s. Designed by Chapman Taylor, the striking ‘ribbon concept’ curved roof links three new restaurants with formal and informal seating areas, a striking green wall and improved pedestrian links from St Martin’s Walk to St Martin’s Square. The 110,000m2 scheme has been cited as the catalyst for Birmingham’s transformation into a world class retail capital, and already has over 160 shops, cafes and restaurants.

UGISAND, one from a wide range of surfaces specifically developed for architectural applications, has an immediate and permanent matt appearance so can be used in most environments to suit diverse architectural styles. The product range is available in both ferritic and austenitic grades with the low-reflectance finish being achieved by means of cold rolling. Coils and sheets can be supplied in thicknesses from 0.4 – 1.5mm and widths from 250 – 1250mm providing maximum flexibility.
