The Cheng Yu Tung Building, Oxford

Szerelmey delivered the design, supply and installation of the stone cladding for the new Cheng Yu Tung Building, an important building located on Oxford’s historic Cornmarket. The cladding comprises 75mm thick Clipsham limestone handset ashlar in sizes 600 x 400mm. The external envelope is fixed back to several different inner skin materials including SFS, concrete blockwork and structural concrete, which required detailed fixing design to accommodate the differing movements of each backing material. The cladding covers four levels and includes stone clad columns to the ground floor retail units and feature windows with detailed cills and head of window details.
