St George’s Hill Self-Build Residence
At this St George’s Hill self-build residence, Taylormade Facades manufactured, supplied and installed a complete package of bespoke, non-structural architectural profiles. Produced at Taylormade’s Aberdare factory from the architect’s general arrangement drawings, the package coordinated portico columns, cornices, window surrounds, curved bay-window profiles, fret panels and pilasters across the front and rear elevations.
A Coordinated Bespoke Profile Package
This self-build residence in St George’s Hill uses a coordinated package of bespoke architectural profiles across its front and rear elevations. Every profile was manufactured by Taylormade Facades at its Aberdare factory from the architect’s general arrangement drawings.
The profiles are decorative, non-structural architectural mouldings. They shape the entrance, rooflines, window openings and curved bays without acting as part of the building structure.
Taylormade’s Scope
- Taylormade manufactured, supplied and installed the complete architectural profile package.
- The package comprised bespoke portico columns, cornices, window surrounds, curved bay-window cornice profiles, fret panels and pilasters.
- The project scope described here is limited to Taylormade’s decorative architectural mouldings and does not include structural design or the surrounding wall finishes.
Challenge, Coordination and Result
The Architectural Challenge
The main challenge was coordinating a wide range of architectural details across the front and rear elevations, including the full-height portico columns, substantial cornice sections, curved entrance feature and curved bay-window profiles.
Each element needed to be carefully proportioned and aligned so the separate features formed one consistent architectural design.
Manufacturing & Coordination
Taylormade manufactured the bespoke profiles at its Aberdare factory from the architect’s general arrangement drawings. The portico columns, cornices, window surrounds, curved profiles, fret panels and pilasters were coordinated as one profile package before being supplied and installed on site.
The Completed Result
The completed photographs show the separate profile types reading as one consistent architectural design across the front and rear elevations. The entrance composition, continuous cornice lines, window surrounds and curved bay details are all clearly visible.
