Ravensdon Street
A Victorian Side Return Extension Enhanced by Slim Pivot Doors
Located within a traditional Victorian terrace in South London, Ravensdon Street demonstrates how contemporary glazing solutions can transform existing homes through light, openness and a stronger connection to outdoor space. The project centred on the creation of a side return extension that reconfigured the property's layout, creating a larger kitchen and dining area while establishing a direct relationship between the interior and garden.
A pair of bespoke aluminium pivot doors supplied by IQ Glass became the defining architectural feature of the extension, providing expansive views, generous access to the garden and a refined contemporary aesthetic that complements both th... More

Hurricane Resistant Glazing
Hurricane Resistant GlassBy combining the appropriate glass specifications and glazing solutions with a combination of toughened and laminated glass panes, the majority of IQ’s glazing solutions may be specified as hurricane resistant glazing.
Impact-resistant glass is required for hurricane glazing so that, even in the event that fly debris breaks the glass, the broken pane will remain in place, acting as a safety barrier and preventing harm or damage.
Hurricane impact glass thickness varies based on additional parameters including whether the glass is bonded into a framing profile or if the glazing is frameless, like in a structural glass wall.

Invisio Strip Rooflight
Narrow Rooflight DesignsThe Invisio strip rooflights are long runs of frameless structural glass connected and sealed together with simple silicone joints between the panes, creating long and frameless glass rooflight constructions.
These narrow rooflight designs are perfect for bringing concentrations of light into extensions or to use as a long rooflight over a hallway design.
Thin Structural GlassSpecialised performance coatings such as our Solar Control Coating can help reduce the amount of solar radiation from travelling through the rooflight to reduce solar gain.

No Additional Structural SteelProvided that the rooflight is less than 1.3m wide, no additional structural steel sections or glass beams are required... More
Project • By NOA • Swimming Pools
Hub of huts
For its latest South Tyrolean realisation, noa* returns to Hubertus in Olang, one of the first places to have revealed the studio's expressive power. After the iconic cantilever pool, a new suspended platform defies gravity law by overturning the concept of wellbeing.
Alex Filz
When noa* designed the cantilevered swimming pool for Hubertus in 2016, the studio envisioned it as a rock stranded between earth and sky. In 2019 a new assignment was granted to the architects, the design of a dedicated wellbeing extension. It was not an easy task for a building that had already found its symbol in the swimming pool, yet this served as inspiration for the new project.

In an initial research phase, the team of architects examine... More

Foster + Partners unveil a 300m tall Sculptural Edifice in Kuwait City
Foster + Partners disclose the completion of a supertall skyscraper that will serve as the headquarters of the National Bank of Kuwait. Soaring 300 metres above Sharq, the financial district of Kuwait, the iconic building is the latest addition to the city’s ever-evolving urban landscape.
Nigel Young / Foster + Partners
Responding to Kuwait’s extreme climate, the tower takes shape as a fin-wrapped cylindrical volume. The concrete fins that extend throughout the length of the building, not just provide structural support but also help in effective shading of interior spaces and minimize solar gain. The northern side of the structure is opened through a strip of glazing to frame views of the Arabian Gulf.

SAOTA translates their South-African modernistic sensibilities into a Russian context for the Silver Pine villa
In a unique pocket of natural pine forest close to the Moscow historic center, SAOTA realized a contemporary home with an outward orientation. The volume contrasts a more closed off gray exterior with a warm colorful interior.

Advanced glazing systems provide insulation during the extreme Russian winters and floods the interiors with as much natural light as possible in these dark months. The architects opted for silver grey metal cladding to enhance the green of the surrounding trees.

On the monolithic street facade side a backlit bronze entrance signals the warmth of the interiors. The designers conceptualized the villa as a geode that reveals a shimmering crystal interior.

Top 10 glass projects of 2020
Laurian Ghinitoiu
1. The Opus by Zaha Hadid Architects
The void’s facade consists of 4,300 single and double curved glass panels that cover 6,000 square meters. The panels are made from 8 mm Low-E glass, 16 mm of spacing between the panes, and two layers of 6mm clear glass with a 1.52mm PVB resin laminate. Each panel is installed with an LED that results in a dynamic light installation.
Architect Jun Aoki
2. Louis Vuitton Maison Osaka Midosuji by Jun Aoki and Associates
The distinctive façade is made up of 10 ‘sails.’ The airfoil shapes of the sails are made of 2D curved glass panels, which achieve cost efficiency as well as ease of manufacturing. Each panel is double glazed, with the ou... More

The Floating House
The concept was to provide a single elegant form, cantilevering out into the tree canopies and over the landscape. Conceived as a house within the tree canopies the extension is clad in sweet chestnut which enhances the relationship to the surrounding mature trees. Large sliding glass panels link the inside spaces to its unique environment. More

Product • By Ottostumm | Mogs • Mogs M65 TB
Mogs M65 TB
The designation “Mogs M65 TB” stands for a large family of thermal barrier window profiles made from different steel grades. Mogs M65 TB Steel profiles are made from 2 mm cold-formed zinc-magnesium steel, which grants a high internal and external protection against rust and atmospheric corrosion. Compared to conventional zinc coated steel profiles, this special dual coat is welder friendly and does not form gas bubbles in the weld seam.
Developed for harsher climatic conditions, Mogs M65 TB combines the mechanical strength and minimalistic slender design of the M65 profiles with thermo-acoustic insulation. Mogs M65 TB is the only cold formed thermal insulated profile system, which boast a thickness of 2 mm. It is an ideal solution fo... More
Project • By Raul Sanchez Architects • Apartments
Apartment Tibbaut
The project is carried out in an underground space near the sea, with barely any outside lighting and in serious humidity conditions. However, the interior of the simply-built, very small structure — barely 55m2 — had a real monumental look, presided over by two octagonal stone pillars from which domes and vaults rise to cover the space and bear the weight of the upper floors.
The client had requested the creation of an open-floor space. However, this monumentality, coupled with the shortage of natural light and view to the outdoors, led to another proposal. The single-space concept could be maintained but with greater spatial complexity, by overlapping and intersecting two living spaces: a central, common, multipurpose space and a peri... More
Product • By Libart • Panora Kinetic Wind Break
Panora Kinetic Wind Break
To appreciate Libart’s design philosophy of aesthetics, function and simplicity you need to look at the Panora-Kinetic system from the outside, all glass façade. Due to Panora-Kinetic's structural glass framing system, virtually no supporting system can be seen from the outside. Internally, Panora-Kinetic wind break system is supported with extensive structural and safety options to archive all necessary safety one expects from a balcony railing system.
Contact us and see how we can help with a new approach to your balustrade and balcony railing and windows.
