The Quarterhouse is a home for performing arts and offers a creative hub for businesses and the public alike. It formed the start of Folkestone’s masterplan, bringing a new sense of identity to the community.

Meshtec Ambasciata was specified with a two-colour waterproof membrane finish to create the perception of an ever-changing, which captured the theatrical nature of the building.

The Curvature of the mesh was achieved by hand bended each panel around a barrel.

Alison Brooks commented: “Cadisch MDA expanded mesh is mallable so it was the perfect material to form the array of vertical flutes. When lit from behind it has an inherent translucency—it combines fragility and robustness. Using this dual nature of the material and combining it with curvature and light we were able to create a quite magical effect.”
