EXPERTVIEW MAKING A STATEMENT
JAMES CATTLE from Snell David Architects puts the spotlight on five amazing ways that you can use glazing in your project to create wow factor
1 STR UCTU RAL GLAZING refers
to fixed glass that takes on a fundamental, structural role in a project. It can be used to create some truly-showstopping features as it combines the weightless properties of glass with its sturdiness and open-ended possibilities, often without the need for conventional framing. Structural glazing can be most effective when connecting old and new as its sensibility won’t overwhelm the home’s original character and features. For example, glazed links can most often be found in period projects, establishing a striking yet simplistic connection. Other great applications include glazed roofs, walk-on rooflights or oriel windows.
