Client:
Bicester Village
Location:
Bicester Village, Oxfordshire
Products & Services Used:
Building Wrap
Project Overview
We collaborated with Bicester Village to disguise a temporary office building located beside the visitor car park, preserving customer experience whilst balancing building functionality.
Our solution was a large-scale building wrap installed around bespoke framing to solve specific project challenges in this premium outlet environment.
CUSTOM FRAMING TO ATTACH 300SQM OF PRINTED MATERIAL
A key project requirement was to conceal the temporary office building while still allowing for workers inside to view out. Working alongside an engineer, we achieved this with custom metal framing designed, built and installed in-house to hold the banner without obscuring any windows.
Project Specifications
- 300sqm building wrap
- Bespoke frame for structural support
- 7 night installation; 5 for framing, 2 for printed building wrap
Adapting to site challenges
With no technical drawings of these older temporary buildings we conducted explanatory works, alongside an engineer, to find the building structural points in order to bolt our bespoke frame safely and efficiently.
Shortly before installation was due to start, we discovered that the site’s CCTV cameras were permanently fixed and could not be repositioned to accommodate the banner installation. We quickly adapted our approach to overcome this challenge and successfully completed the building wrap installation within the client’s required timeframe.
