CCL Facades Scoops Major Award For One City Park

Work to deliver a £4.8m bespoke facade at One City Park in Bradford has been hailed as an exemplary use of curtain walling as specialist façade contractor, CCL Facades, takes home a coveted award at this year’s Façade Awards.

Receiving the ‘best use of curtain walling’ award, the CCL Facades team was commended for its high standards in the design and delivery of its most complex project to-date at Bradford’s brand new Grade A office.

The façade at One City Park comprises a Wicona SG system with acoustic barriers alongside a bespoke package of industry-leading Speedpanel A2 insulated spandrel panels to create a fully-tested and high-performance silicone-glazed system.

Balancing aesthetics with building performance, the façade at One City Park was designed to fit the building’s unique curvature, for which CCL Facades also worked with Speedpanel to develop a Toggle fixed spandrel panel.

The award adds to One City Park’s extensive 2024 accolades, which includes the Disruptor Award at the Yorkshire Commercial Real Estate Awards and the Project of the Year Award at the Constructing Excellence Yorkshire & Humber Awards

One City Park was built by CCL Facades’ sister company, Caddick Construction, on behalf of development partners, Muse Developments and Bradford City Council. 

Tony Blake, Managing Director of CCL Facades, commented: “Working with our colleagues at Speedpanel, we were able to design and deliver our most complex curtain walling system to-date, and we’re very proud to have our hard work recognised by the Facade Awards. One City Park is a striking building with unique curvature and design features that required a completely bespoke solution. The end result is a high quality aesthetic that befits Bradford’s first Grade A office development for 20 years.”

Paul Dodsworth, Group Managing Director of Caddick Construction Group, added: “Our clients, Muse and Bradford Council, had an ambition to create a development that would elevate Bradford as a destination city, and working in partnership with Caddick Construction, CCL Facades matched this ambition by designing a stunning facade. The exceptional award-winning results are a huge testament to the benefits of our shared in-house capabilities.”
