Canterbury Cathedral is one of the most impressive and iconic structures in England. Originally founded in 597, the cathedral stands in the heart of the historic city of Canterbury, Kent. With its majestic medieval architecture, the cathedral serves as a symbol of both spiritual devotion and cultural heritage. Today, it is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, continuing to stand as a beacon of history and faith.

In 2020, the cathedral unveiled its brand-new Welcome Centre, designed by the renowned architectural firm Berman Guedes Stratton (BGS Architects). This modern space offers visitors a unique experience, showcasing historical artifacts from the cathedral’s extensive collection. It also provides dedicated areas for educational programs, workshops, and cultural performances.

Een bijzonder kenmerk van het nieuwe centrum zijn de opvallende driehoekige ramen, waarvoor een op maat gemaakte verduisteringsoplossing nodig was. Het architectenbureau was op zoek naar zonwering voor schuine ramen en schakelde hiervoor onze partner Waverley in.

We supplied three bespoke solar shading systems from our GJ - MW Triangular series. Each system is fitted with high-performance blackout fabrics from Soltis/Serge Ferrari and equipped with reliable RTS motors from Somfy, complete with remote control for effortless operation and maximum convenience.
