Silverstone circuit in Northamptonshire has been home to the British Grand Prix since 1948, and it’s an iconic venue for Formula 1 fans across the globe. In an ever-changing and advancing sport, it’s important that the premises have a modern look and feel.
Client: Silverstone
Main Contractor: HG Construction
Architect: Twelve Architects
Product: Timber clad steel frame with clear polycarbonate roof
Material: Steel and Polycarbonate with Thermawood cladding to the steel columns and fins underside
Brief
Following on from our previous work with the Silverstone Escapades accommodation, we were asked back to work on the clubhouse area, adding a permanent roof canopy to cover the bar area. We installed a durable polycarbonate roof, supported on a timber clad steel frame.
Outcome
The canopy provides some protection from poor or sunny weather, and the space is an ideal viewing platform for race day events. It can also host small private events or hotel activities such as fitness or wellness classes. The finished look is sleek and modern, while providing all the practical benefits the space required.
