The glass
and aluminium used for the various design feature installations
had to reflect advanced technology whilst simultaneously projecting
a crisp contemporary image.
For the retail level, a frameless floor-to-ceiling shopfront design
was installed, 3,15m high, using 12mm thick armourplate toughened
safety glass double-door assemblies and 8,5mm thick Fadeban HPR
laminated safety glass panels for the shop windows. The silicone
butt-jointed Fadeban glazing is fin supported. The shopfronts designed
supplied and installed by Edelweiss Glass and Aluminium run the
full length of each side of the retail mall carried in an 80mm-high
aluminium base rail and supported by specially designed channels
recessed into the ceiling and the floor.
Another innovative application of clear toughened safety glass is
seen in the office windows which slope inward at an angle to overlook
the atrium. This installation was also designed and glazed by Edelweiss
Glass and Aluminium.
