23 Savile Row

Bespoke glazing was required for the office renovation at 23 Savile Row, and IQ were enlisted by Signature London for the design and installation.  The original design of this building dates back to 2009, so the client approached MoreySmith to reimagine the entrance and interiors with the best quality materials. The goal was to create a luxurious and opulent space.  Glazing for the front elevation was the main focus for the new design. This along with frameless glass elevations, curved clear glass and bronze detailing now create a strong first impression for visitors of these luxury offices.
