THE CLIENT: DPS INTERNATIONAL-EDGE, a premier educational institution in Gurgaon, having a sprawling campus with the best educational facilities, sports facilities ( swimming, basketball, football, etc.) and performing arts. The institution provides excellent opportunities to children for their holistic development and prepares global citizens of tomorrow.
THE VISION: The vision everyone had right from the beginning was to create a feature wall that conveys the brand, the sport and the energy associated with the DPS brand and the sports. The DURIAN Exterior Grade HPL panels were used in such a way as to complement and enhance the aesthetics, visibility and magnitude of the swimming pool.
THE TEAM: The Team, headed by Col. Sehgal and his commendable next in command, Mr Vinay Yadav, gave direction and support to the team of designers, CNC cutting team and installation teams. Team Durian laminates was a trusted pillar of support throughout the execution of the project.
EXTERIOR APPLICATION: HPL panels of 8mm were used in CNC-cut areas, and 6mm panels were used in the rest of the area. Multiple samples were cut for CNC cutting & routing to create the desired impact of the LOGO and the waves. Multiple fixing detail options were planned in the initial stages to create the right impact. The routed and through and through cut portions created a beautiful impact under the lights. Care was taken that NO aluminum sections were visible through the cut sections of the sheet. Incorporation of LED lights with the panels was a bit of a challenge, so as to create the right impact.
