Xscape is Scotland’s first indoor ski dome and the third of its type
in the UK, it has a unique and challenging design that has attracted interest
from far and wide.
The 375,000 square metre, £70m building at Braehead, near Glasgow features
a 200 metre long ski slope and also includes a cinema, retail outlets and restaurants.
A major design feature is the purple ‘picture frame’ set into the
side elevation fabricated by Sotech as special soffits (using interlocking
wall planks) and which incorporate a unique ‘secret fix’ system.
Optima cassette rainscreen is used for the sides of the ‘picture frame’.
A special three-coat paint system was used on the 2000m2 of pre-coated
PvDF aluminium to match the Xscape corporate colours.
