Designed to cover an outdoor meeting room for a office fit out in central London, the curved form of the Bicupola also provides a sculptural focal point on the 7th floor terrace.
The Bicupola is formed from a grid of CNC cut plywood frames that span to four ballasted feet. This framework is edged with a CNC cut iroko edge beam to control the overall curved form, and clad internally with stained marine plywood. The external cladding is abraded raw aluminium to provide a durable and attractive finish.
