THÉA Minimal Aluminium Frames are slender-profile glazing systems designed to maximise transparency while maintaining structural performance. The system uses high-precision aluminium sections to support large glass panels with minimal visible framing, allowing for increased daylight penetration and strong visual continuity between interior and exterior spaces.

From a sustainability perspective, aluminium is a highly durable and fully recyclable material, supporting long service life and potential material recovery at end of use. The reduction in frame thickness increases the proportion of glazing, which can enhance daylighting and reduce reliance on artificial lighting when appropriately specified. The system can also accommodate high-performance glazing, contributing to improved thermal and solar control depending on the configuration.

Set on a sloping site in Agios Tychonas, Cyprus, this residence by Vassiliades Architects is conceived as a composition of horizontal and vertical volumes that work with the terrain. The project balances the weight and permanence of an exposed concrete frame with the visual lightness of a white upper level, producing an architectural language that is both robust and restrained. Through this cla...
