I rather like this new building on Lichfield street with an interesting design (looks like the Avon River Loop) on laser cut steel.

Facade of a modern building on Lichfield Street, featuring an intricate laser-cut steel design resembling the Avon River Loop, with construction barriers in front.

      I hadn’t either, but I did a quick internet search and found quite a few buildings around the world are using this technique. I think it really stands out.

    Love the design, and I see they had the foresight to use a frosted finish to keep the reflections of the sun from being so bright too. Having worked with stainless steel in the past, I can only imagine the job this must be, between its weight and the fact sheets of stainless steel can almost get a person cut simply by looking at it. My hat goes off to both the engineers who designed this and to those fabricating and installing it!

      Well observed, I just saw the pretty design 🙂 But yes, I can imagine that technically they had to think this through quite a bit.
