The Challenge
This was a high-end residential development with full-height glazing overlooking Tower Bridge and the River Thames.
The shading solution needed to preserve uninterrupted views while complementing a premium interior specification. Systems had to remain hidden when not in use, with no visual impact on the architecture.
Blinds were required to integrate within tight façade and curtain wall conditions, with limited space for installation and operation.
Each apartment also required full integration with home automation systems, demanding reliable and consistent performance across hundreds of units.
Maintaining design consistency and installation quality across 355 apartments was critical.
System Design
A bespoke blind box system was developed to conceal blinds within the building structure.
Each unit was designed to integrate with the curtain wall façade, ensuring alignment with the architectural intent and maintaining a clean internal finish.
Integration
The system was designed to operate seamlessly within each apartment.
- Integrated with home automation systems
- Linked motorised blinds for coordinated operation
Bespoke Engineering
Installation space was limited due to façade and interior constraints.
Compact 240V motorised systems were specified, using discreet fixings to enable installation within confined ceiling zones.
Fabric & Performance
A consistent shading approach was applied across all apartments.
- High-performance fabrics for glare and solar control
- Maintained views while providing privacy when required
Delivery & Installation
The Outcome
The completed system delivers effective solar control while preserving uninterrupted views across London’s skyline.
Blinds remain fully concealed when retracted, maintaining the clean lines of the interior design.
Integration with home automation allows seamless control, improving occupant comfort and usability.
The solution supports both privacy and daylight management without compromising the architectural vision.
