Entrance canopy, Brickworks Offices

A nine-metre glass canopy carried by four tapered steel blades.

The brief

The listed brick facade could take only four fixing points, and rainwater had to disappear without visible gutters.

Our solution

Tapered blades with hidden drainage inside the profile, point-fixed glass and a fixing design agreed with the conservation officer before fabrication.
