📌 Abu Dhabi, UAE

Architect: Foster + Partners

This project is the first phase in the development of Masdar City - the world's first carbon-neutral, zero-waste desert community.

To align with the sustainable approach outlined in the project's proposal, GRC was chosen - a material renowned for its eco-friendly attributes of supreme longevity, resource efficiency, insulative properties, low carbonation & permeability and weather resistance.

The main purpose of using GRC, which is lightweight and modular in nature, was to eliminate long-distance transportation and associated carbon emissions by manufacturing the panels locally in Abu Dhabi.

As a resource-efficient approach, and to provide a fast-track solution for installing the facade, several GRC panels were combined to create larger-sized panels, thereby reducing the number of moulds and joints between panels. These were then delivered to site as 'one-piece' units and simply lifted and bolted onto pre-installed brackets before being lined and levelled.

Another stunning project by the team.

This concrete bar top was produced for Brindisa at their Battersea Power Station site. Following the Mediterranean aesthetic of the space, the top was cast in a muted warm tone at a 60mm edge thickness, featuring large sweeping curved corners, maintaining a spacious feel.

A natural-feeling densifier was used to seal the piece for a luxurious, polished feel that slowly ages and marks with time, developing small fissures that give the bar top a worn-in and rustic appearance.

GRC produced by KROE

Located in Kraków, a city well-known for its stunning architecture, is The National Archive building. Clad with a sophisticated architectural concrete facade, the building's design seamlessly integrates itself amongst the urban makeup of the city through its unique aesthetic consisting of textured, colourful blocks cast in varying sizes.

The precast GRC elements were produced by KROE and installed on-site as a curtain facade.

are well known for their exceptional polished concrete worktops.

Their London Fields project is yet another example of their prowess in crafting such products - a showcase of concrete kitchen worktops, produced in three different colours and finishes, created as part of a basement renovation.

More than just aesthetically impressive, the incorporation of glass fibres into the worktops' compositions endow them with enhanced strength and durability without compromising on weight.

Head over to their Instagram page to see more of their outstanding work.

🌍 𝗚𝗥𝗖 𝗔𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱
📌 London, United Kingdom

𝟯𝟬 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁

Architects: Whinney Son & Austen Hall | GRC Manufacturer: Portcrete Ltd.

30 Cannon Street is a landmark achievement in architectural Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) applications.

Constructed from 1974 to 1977 - to act as the London Headquarters of Crédit Lyonnais - no expense was spared during development, ensuring that the building commanded its prominent wedge-shaped island site in the core of London.

30 Cannon Street was the first building in the UK to be clad entirely in double-skinned GRC panels; the architects opting to use the material since the GRC units were cheaper, lighter, thinner and less porous than pre-cast concrete equivalents, thus reducing the costs of the structure, foundations and transport.

Since construction concluded, the building has become a point of reference for GRC manufacturers and facade specialists - an exemplary example of the material's advantages in architectural applications.

Architect: ARM Architecture | GRC Manufacturer: Asurco Contracting

Alongside the historic landmarks of Geelong Peace Memorial, Geelong Art Gallery and Geelong Town Hall stands Johnstone Park's latest addition: the re-developed Geelong Library & Heritage Centre.

Hundreds of asymmetrical and geometrically pentagonal or hexagonal GRC panels were produced to form the eroded geometric dome of the Centre. Encapsulating the library within, the elaborate cladding system forms a series of arches that conveys the suggestion of a spherical dome, striking a balance between organic and futuristic forms.

Like a grotto, it opens up to the surrounding landscape of the park and invites visitors into its angular alcoves.

Mesmerising work by One Artisan (), blending the rough, industrial aesthetic of concrete with shallow pools of resin and the flowing, organic forms of Olive wood.

📌 Kristiansand, Norway

𝗞𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲

Architect: ALA Architects | GRC designed, manufactured & installed by Byggimpuls

The Kilden Performing Arts Centre encompasses a total area of 16,500 square metres, housing a concert hall with almost 1,200 seats, a theatre and opera stage with roughly 750 seats, a multi-purpose hall with 400 standing places and a hall for smaller events.

In the context of the performing arts, the architectural symphony of the Centre is composed like an orchestra. Whilst the bold silhouette and dramatic form of the structure's facade steals the spotlight - representing the soloists of the ensemble - it is the subtly strong, precise and versatile notes of the internal GRC acoustic panels that endow the composition its depth and coherence: a profound, reverberating bass.

142 of these GRC elements were installed onto the supporting framework of the structure - the reduced weight of these units negating any requirement for a large mobile crane and expediting construction time.

New Case Study!

One of Zaha Hadid's most significant projects, the Heydar Aliyev Centre stands as a symbol of Baku's shift in culture. Its' flowing, organic forms draws inspiration from historical Islamic architecture and distances the structure from the rigid Soviet Modernist architecture that occupies much of the city's skyline.

A master of his craft, it doesn't get much better than these GRC kitchen countertops created by Charles Myatt 🔥

Stylish and practical, GRC is the perfect material for countertops. The AR Glass Fibres at the core of the composite allow manufacturers to craft incredibly thin and light yet remarkably strong products.
