Zinc bullseye dormers for Wallace Collection

VMZINC has supplied zinc bullseye dormers for the roof of the Wallace Collection in Paddington.

Pre-weathered Quartz-zinc® standing seam was selected with lightwell projections also clad in zinc to provide an unobtrusive blend within the roofscape. The muted grey colour is similar to lead and blends well with the roof’s natural slates.

The Wallace Collection is a national museum in a historic London town house which houses 25 galleries of French 18th century paintings, furniture, porcelain superb Old Master paintings, a world class armoury and one of London's most important Rococo collections.

Working with John O’Connell Architects and Purcell Miller Tritton the zinc bullseye dormers were designed to enhance the classical appearance of the roof while disguising ventilation outlets. The new roof will enable ceilings in the east galleries to be restored to their former elegance and glory.
