Research accommodation for the British Antarctic Survey.

BDA partnered the development of bespoke, semi-monocoque, glass reinforced, plastic insulated panels, designed for temperatures that fall to -57° Celsius, whilst incorporating triple glazed vision panels.

Adjustable hydraulic and telescopic legs with ski pad feet were incorporated to cope with the rapidly changing snow and ice terrain.
