By:

THE CLIENT: DPS INTERNATIONAL-EDGE a premier educational institution in Gurgaon having a sprawling campus with best of educational facilities, sports facilities ( swimming, basketball, football etc) and performing arts. The institution provides excellent opportunities to children for their holistic development and preparing global citizens of tomorrow.

THE VISION: The vision everyone had right from beginning was to create a feature wall which conveys the brand, the sport and the energy associated with DPS brand and the sports. The DURIAN Exterior Grade HPL panels were used in such a way so 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 rest of the area. Multiple samples were cut for CNC cutting & routing to create desired impact of the LOGO and the waves. Multiple fixing detail options were planned on the initial stages to create the right impact. The routed and through and through cut portions created beautiful impact under the lights. Care was taken that NO aluminium sections were visible through the cut sections of the sheet. The incorporation of LED lights with the panels was a bit of a challenge so as to create right impact.
