The Requirement
A new Jaguar Land Rover site at Solihull in the Warwickshire countryside, close to Birmingham Airport, with offices, show rooms and car parking, is a large development. The architect’s aim was to create a thoroughly contemporary look, as depicts a high-end vehicle manufacturer, but also to ensure that the structure blended with the surroundings.
The project design included a car park solar shading system from Contrasol Ltd. The extruded aluminium profiles form feature solar shading ‘fins’ running vertically on the exterior of the multi-story car park, with galvanized steel plates behind the fins at each floor level to screen car headlights.
