The sleek profile of architectural solutions specialist Aliva UK’s silver Onda Alu.covering® rainscreen cladding system created a signature aesthetic for the boutique Aviator Hotel at the private airport TAG London Farnborough.

The luxury hotel was created for the international business community flying to and from TAG London Farnborough and for the many hi-tech, defence and aerospace companies located in the hotel's vicinity.

Aviator was designed by Hamilton Associates to look like an aeroplane's propeller when viewed from the sky, featuring a complex curvilinear metal roof structure with a curved central atrium and aluminium cladding to the facade.

The crisp undulation and lines of Aliva’s Onda Alu.covering® profile, an extruded aluminium alloy used in horizontal orientation for Aviator, realised the architectural vision for this bespoke aviation-themed project.

James Ormerod, Aliva UK’s MD said: “The ‘aerodynamic’ synergy and style of our Onda profile, together with the smooth silver tones chosen to complement a propeller aesthetic with our powder coated facade, meant the architectural design intent was met without compromise. An A rated, BBA certified aluminium facade system that took flight on this project to meet a top flight facade aesthetic.”
