Hinge Architects are experts in facade rectification, replacement and re-cladding.
Having consulted on over 60 buildings locally and internationally, Hinge Architects bring creative thinking, experience, diligence and optimism to the challenges of non-compliant cladding replacement.
Our comprehensive understanding of the relevant compliant context foregrounds a focus on safety and intelligent solutions in the design and specification of replacement facades. We’re able to break down what is a frequently complicated set of parameters and communicate them elegantly and simply to stakeholders.
We focus on value adding and value managing cladding replacement projects, looking at opportunities to turn unfortunate unplanned maintenance and cost into potential building improvements. We have a comprehensive understanding of the market place for replacement products, systems and solutions.
We work closely with stakeholders (including governments, private clients and project managers), specialist consultants, and particularly contractors to deliver cost and time-effective facade solutions that have been properly thought through well in advance of application. We think long term with respect to replacement and understand maintenance and buildability issues, allowing them to inform our design solutions.
“Hinge Architects went above and beyond to ensure that all 14 facade replacements were undertaken correctly, on time, and to an extremely high level of accuracy, including in ensuring advanced assessment of progress to avoid expensive reworking later. We could not ask for a better project partner.”
