Commercial
Pennybank
This mixed-use commercial building underwent a vast refurbishment to include premium office spaces at the top of the building and a number of retail units on the lower floors. A roof extension was created as part of the refurbishment, expanding the useable space and flooding the sixth floor with natural light.
The roof extension features a large glass wall in a faceted design, with straight panes of glass configured at an angle to create the faceted effect. Oversized panes of structural glass were utilised, with structural silicone between panes to create a weathertight seal whilst creating the minimum impact on the overall building design. Within the glass wall, casement doors grant access to a wraparound terrace that overlooks London. The use of structural glass means the views can be enjoyed from inside and outside the building.
