Bespoke Glass Lift, Hyde Park, London Azurelope designed a bespoke glass lift shaft for an existing building overlooking Hyde Park in London. The structure is suspended from the roof on 4 corner Jakobs tension rods. Each section of glass was supported from a bespoke corner bracket. The project began by creating a 3D model from a full laser scan of the existing building to ensure that the new metal stringers were laser cut to follow the existing timber stair stringers. The whole project was procured as a set of components from individual suppliers and assembled on...

Azurelope designed the new multi-sloped glass roof at Leeds College of Music. The roof was made of double glazed units that were capable of supporting the weight of a human and were sloped in multiple directions to cascade rainwater at a minimum of 4 degree slope so that there was no ponding water on the surface. The compound glass to glass joints were set out in a 3D model which was then broken down to provide full CNC templates. The top and bottom panes were staggered to allow for a mechanical joint that was sealed together with structural black silicone to provide a frameless waterproof surface.   Each panel consists of a double glazed unit. The lower pane of glass is wider to provide support for a mechanical fix. Hi-grade structural silicone was then added as a filler to provide a complete seal....

This design for a refurbished elliptical spiral staircase uses glass reinforced gypsum (GRG) molded panels to create the lower part of the balustrade and soffit to the underside of the stair. The upper section of the stair contains a mixture of detail steel and copper metalwork. The 3D model was produced using a point cloud survey of the original stair. Below shows the steelwork being...
