Salford Royal Hospital

Maple delivered a striking façade of gold anodised vertical fins for a new trauma hospital, creating a bold architectural feature across all elevations. The fins are offset from the building to maintain a clear entrance while reflecting the design language used elsewhere on the facility, including the helipad.

Using 3D modelling and close collaboration with the project team, Maple developed a bespoke fixing approach that allowed the fins to sit away from the façade, supported by adapted rail systems and horizontal arms to achieve the desired architectural effect.
