Three‑Sided Sliding Glass Façade to the Internal Courtyard
IQ Glass engineered and installed a three‑sided, U‑shaped sliding glass door façade to the ground‑floor apartment, enclosing the internal courtyard. Each elevation of the courtyard was formed using a slim framed, thermally broken sliding door system, configured as three‑track, three‑panel arrangements with one fixed and two sliding panels per elevation. Two of the elevations meet on an opening glass corner, while the third forms a fixed corner, creating a fully glazed enclosure around the courtyard.
These slim sliding doors to the Marylebone renovation allow the ground‑floor living space to open completely to the courtyard when required, while maintaining a clean, minimal appearance when closed. Flush base tracks were integrated to ensure level transitions between the internal and external floor finishes, reinforcing the sense of continuous living space.
Upper‑Floor Glazing and Rooflight Integration
Across the upper floors of the building, IQ Glass installed a series of slim sliding glass doors, frameless structural glass windows and sliding glass windows to maximise daylight penetration throughout the apartments. These openings were detailed as floor‑to‑ceiling elements, maintaining consistency with the glazed courtyard façade below and enhancing vertical light distribution.
Frameless structural glass rooflights were installed at roof level to bring additional daylight into the top‑floor apartments. These rooflights soften the boundary between interior and exterior, allowing natural light and sky views to animate the living spaces below. In one location, a walk‑on structural glass floor was introduced to transmit light between levels while maintaining usable floor space above.
