Residential

From new build and refurbishment, to historic building conversions and bespoke high-end residential extensions, Clear Structures’ specialist glass engineering services span the entire residential sector.

Our ability to solve unusual design challenges that arise from high-end residential developments and refurbishments has led to Clear Structures’ impressive portfolio of glazing projects with the country’s top developers. From designing simple glass floor panels in a five-storey solarium, to crafting the corner of a 20-storey retail block in Manchester, Clear Structures provides innovative solutions that marry architectural intent with end-user requirements.

Our in-house design and engineering teams can provide a complete glass design package tailored to suit the requirements of each individual project. The teams’ experience spans numerous award-winning residential projects; one particularly notable project involved conservatory design for a listed house in Clapham, London. The glass walls and roof were supported by glass columns made from stacked glass castings, reinforced by high tensile stainless steel rods. While these cast glass isolators are a standard component used in the electricity industry to isolate high voltage cables on electric pylons, this was the first time isolators were used for this type of architectural application.

This project has been featured in several trade journals and has also been included in the recent book The Use of Structural Glass in Buildings, which was published by The Institution of Structural Engineers.

Our recent projects are outlined here and also on the Thomasons website. For further information please contact info@clearstructures.co.uk or your usual contact at Clear Structures.
