Facade contractor Gartner has secured the contract for the design, supply and installation of the exterior facade for the 50 Fenchurch Street high-rise project in London. The 36-storey building was designed by Eric Parry Architects. As part of this project, Gartner will work closely with its British colleagues of Permasteelisa UK.
The London skyscraper 8 Bishopsgate combines a striking tiered design with high-tech sustainability features – from active facades with intelligent glass to energy reuse systems. Its use of AGC Interpane glazing and cradle-to-cradle materials helps it earn top environmental certifications.
The Olympia glass canopy in Kensington has been completed. Eckersley O’Callaghan engineered the steel and glass canopy that sits atop the public realm space within the Olympia redevelopment.
A successful example of the integration of contemporary architecture in the City of London is 52 Lime Street, also known as "The Scalpel". The 190-metre office tower designed by the architects of Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) is an impressive building. The facade glass came from AGC Interpane.
In the underground, there is generally high pressure to allow the necessary air flow. In addition, the fire protection requirements are extremely high, as the escape routes are more demanding than above ground. For a project in the London Underground, Teckentrup has now developed special doors that exceed all requirements.
The delightful ambience of the interior of the new Maggie’s Centre Barts in the center of London is enhanced by the special light effects of the Kapilux T functional glass from Okalux.
The tower at 22 Bishopsgate in the heart of London rises 278 metres into the air, but one of the defining design features of the building is just above the heads of passers-by: The glass canopies. Read here why this is glass art at its best and what part sedak plays in it.
With its 162m high glass facade, the Principal Tower makes an impressive statement on the London skyline. Given the dimensions of the building, attention had to be paid to every detail in the highly energy-efficient curtain wall - right down to the spacers of the facade glass.
