Swansea Arena, Wales
Beautiful, architect-designed renovations completed reliably from start to finish
The exquisite design of this entire building makes a statement and injects life into the heart of Swansea.
Swansea City Council invested in a multi-million-pound complex to modernise the city and create a vibrant new neighbourhood for culture and leisure.
The Copr Bay development, which is set to put the city on the map, features a 3,500-capacity arena, a new hotel, top-of-the-range conference facilities and a 1.1-acre coastal park.
Beautifully crafted Gold Kriskadecor metal chains
Our Kriskadecor metal chains were also specified, this time for the ceiling feature throughout the arena.
We worked closely with Buckingham Group Contracting and AFL Architects, who were appointed by ACME to assist with the design. For the front of the bar, they specified our special square SQ-20/20 and 12/12 R profiled wellTEC® with R5T7 holes in 1mm thick aluminium. This was powder coated gold to give a spectacular, sleek finish.
This vast undulating ceiling creates a dramatic and eye catching piece that will always be a talking point of the interior. We achieved the design intent by creating a bespoke curved ceiling feature, anodised in ‘Brilliant Apricot 20020’ to give a warm feel to the building. The ceiling consisted of 128 km of Kriskadecor chains, which were used for the ceiling feature. They had a total surface area of 1,647 m2.
