The 770mē wave feature ceiling at Glasgow's London Clubs International Casino occupies the entire atrium and extends under the ground floor undercroft. The waveform slat design, viewable from above and below was originally specified as American Walnut Timber, but SAS were able to offer a very convincing metal alternative within budget. Pre-coat woodgrain effect metal panels were engineered and rolled to specific radii and then assembled on site to fully clad the invisible steel skeleton supporting the huge structure. As with specialist projects of this nature, SAS were involved from initial concept and undertook the design, manufacture and installation on site.
AIS Awards Judges commented:
The design concept behind this entry could be characterised as off the wall, the solution devised by the entrant could be described as inspired. It is not a ceiling, it is not a wall - it is a huge, at first glance free floating, wave transcending three floors.
