Aside from the logistical challenge, the full perimeter of structural glass forms an intrinsic structural and stabilising support to the curved timber roof of the world class glazed pavilion.
The engineered structural glass to the sweeping wooden roof uses strengthening laminated SGP (SentryGlas Plus) interlayers designed to further strengthen the structural glass.
All the oversized glass panels are low iron with solar control coatings to comply with the rigid performance regulations of the entire pavilion structure.
Once the full perimeter of oversized structural glass was installed, the IQ Projects team installed made-to-measure bespoke secondary steel works, brackets and connections to further support the 13 tonnes of glass.
The internal trims and pressings were custom made in a bronze finish to reflect the stature of Rhodes House heritage.
An Automated bi parting entrance door system with two moving panes and two fixed frames boasts a modest frame profile with a bronze finish creating a cohesive design linking the modern to the traditional.
This state-of-the-art structural reflective glass pavilion reflects the magnificent gardens of Oxford University provides a tranquil convening space for Scholars and the public offering sound acoustics thanks to the curved timber roof and double glazed oversized structural glass panels.
