Developer Castlebar Enterprises Inc. wanted to create a face that would take the building well into the new century and compel potential buyers to explore its beauty. To this end, they teamed up with Accurate Perforating to replace their aging infill panels.
21 Kristin Drive residential building, now a stunning and sophisticated 10-story dwelling of 327 condominium homes worthy of its new name – the residences of 21 (XXi). Transforming the building’s exterior was an essential element in the successful makeover,
Decades ago, the balconies of this brick apartment building were created with painted plywood panels attached to aluminum railings for safety. This produced a dated outer shell and a barrier that obscured sunlight from the apartment interiors. Understanding the building owner’s need to update the balconies with minimal disruption and within budget creatively, Accurate Perforating knew the importance of merging function, aesthetics, and cost efficiencies. The goal was an open look that met code and was just as appealing from the outside in as from the inside out.
Accurate created custom panels of perforated metal with a 3/16" round hole on a 1/2" staggered pattern and large solid borders. They combined this with thinner, .125" thick 5005 aluminum to meet the project budget without sacrificing safety or beauty.
