With Eashing House on-site, Edgley Design needed to decide on material finishes. The most noticable concern is the finish of the stainless steel cladding. Happy with the aesthetic of our drawing, our aim was to find the right level of polished material to reflect the colours and create a distorted vision of the surrounding park as close as possible.
Team Edgley took our samples down to the local park to discover the effects of light and the park environment on various grades of polished stainless steel, as this was the best way to test the material against its inevitable context in the Surrey countryside.
We had expected from looking at the drawing to opt for a more rough finish, that the highly polished material would be too much like a mirror and too bright.
The users experience of the material at different distances (1m, 3m, 5m, 10m) different distances.
