A new Novotel hotel in the heart of Hobart, a challenging project which pushed the boundaries of a conventional façade by introducing intersecting angled stone faces to create focal points and frame windows.The Original specified sandstone façade was upgraded to 12mm Consentino Dekton, with a sandstone surface, enabling larger more impressive panels to be installed. The result is a beautiful façade which pays homage to the existing architectural materials being used around the city scape of Hobart. DC Tech is proud of all the hard work, dedication of all involved in this ambitious project come to life.
Products & Application
Fischer undercut anchors were used to conceal the mechanical attachment points on the rear of the panels.
Each panel intricately positioned and supported by the Nvelope NV3 sub-framing system. The complex façade demanded a mixture of cladding zone depths, ranging between 75mm to 350mm.

About Nvelope NV3
About Fischer Anchors
The DCT Fischer ACT System opens up the way for effortless and cost-efficient design of attractive, complex façades. The technology offers several times higher ultimate loads than conventional fixings. Because anchor positioning can be optimised, the bending moment within the panel is reduced by about 50% when compared to traditional systems.
