Generated illustration A generated illustration, not a photograph, of Ciceley Court on Stafford Road, Croydon, looking up where a grey fibre-cement-panelled tower meets off-white rendered elevations with tall grey-framed windows. MH Architects' final elevations put Equitone Tectiva fibre-cement panels on the large grey wall fields and off-white render on the light ones. The team behind Dmitro Development delivered both finishes for main contractor Kind & Company; the building was completed in November 2017. ## The package and the team - **Package**: Equitone Tectiva rainscreen and Sto render - **Main contractor**: Kind & Company - **Housing provider**: Home Group - **Architect**: MH Architects - **Homes**: 15 shared-ownership flats - **Building completed**: November 2017 [Part of: rainscreen and render facade packages](https://dmitrodevelopment.co.uk/facade-cladding/) ## What the team delivered - 665 m² of Equitone Tectiva fibre-cement panels - 225 m of Equitone reveals - Over 200 m² of Sto render - 190 m of rendered reveals and 154 m of movement joints - 76 ventilation-box openings through the cladding ![Illustration of an upper terrace at Ciceley Court: a rendered elevation with grey-framed windows between two blocks clad in grey fibre-cement panels](https://dmitrodevelopment.co.uk/assets/projects/ciceley-court-croydon/ciceley-court-croydon-illustration-upper-terrace-rendered-elevation-grey-fallback.jpg) 02 · Illustration: an upper terrace between the panelled blocks and the rendered elevation. A generated illustration, not a photograph, of an upper terrace at Ciceley Court: a rendered elevation with tall grey-framed windows between two blocks clad in grey fibre-cement panels, with a railed balcony and paved terrace in front. Where the render meets the panels, each finish needs its own reveals, joints and edge trims; the team delivered both sides of that junction. The project ## A failed part-built block, taken down to ground and rebuilt. Kind & Company took possession of a weather-damaged, partly built development on Stafford Road. The defective structure was removed to ground level and a new building went up in its place, to a final scheme Croydon approved in June 2017. MH Architects designed its replacement at three, four and five storeys: seven two-bedroom flats, five three-bedroom and three one-bedroom, with parking, cycle storage and vehicle access. ## 03 · Illustration: the courtyard side, render and Equitone below a standing-seam zinc mansard. ![Illustration of Ciceley Court's courtyard side: off-white render and grey fibre-cement panels under a standing-seam zinc mansard, a carriage arch and gardens in front](https://dmitrodevelopment.co.uk/assets/projects/ciceley-court-croydon/ciceley-court-croydon-illustration-courtyard-side-white-render-grey-fallback.jpg) A generated illustration, not a photograph, of Ciceley Court's courtyard side: a five-storey rendered block beside a lower wing finished in off-white render and grey fibre-cement panels, under a standing-seam zinc mansard with dormers, a carriage arch to the parking and planted gardens in front. The illustration follows the three finishes MH Architects' elevations specify: Equitone panels, off-white render and standing-seam zinc. ## 04 · Illustration: two zinc dormers over the carriage arch, render to the left, Equitone to the right. ![Illustration of the courtyard elevation at Ciceley Court seen closer, with the carriage arch, rendered bays, grey panels and the zinc mansard with two dormers](https://dmitrodevelopment.co.uk/assets/projects/ciceley-court-croydon/ciceley-court-croydon-illustration-courtyard-elevation-closer-carriage-arch-fallback.jpg) A generated illustration, not a photograph, of the same courtyard elevation at Ciceley Court seen closer: the rendered block and entrance doors on the left, the carriage arch to the parking beneath a rendered bay, and grey fibre-cement panels to the right of it under the zinc mansard and its two dormers. The build-up ## Tectiva on 8 mm joints, render finished in Stolit K 3.0. Behind the Equitone Tectiva panels went a Tyvek breather membrane, ventilation profiles and horizontal and vertical cavity fire barriers. MH Architects' elevations set the panels with the grain running vertically and joints of at least 8 mm. The render went onto cement carrier board: Sto Fibre Plus reinforcement with Sto Armat Classic and glass-fibre mesh, under a natural-white Stolit K 3.0 finish. ## Balconies and zinc The team coordinated its cladding with the balconies, which were built by others. It also carried out standing-seam zinc work in late 2016. ![Illustration of stacked balconies with steel posts and timber soffits in front of a grey fibre-cement-panelled apartment facade](https://dmitrodevelopment.co.uk/assets/projects/ciceley-court-croydon/ciceley-court-croydon-illustration-stacked-balconies-steel-posts-timber-fallback.jpg) 05 · Illustration: stacked balconies on a fibre-cement facade, not a view of Ciceley Court.
