The Challenge
This project involved a high-level penthouse within a large residential development.
The installation required external solar shading at height, introducing significant safety and access challenges.
The brise soleil system needed to integrate with the architectural design while delivering effective solar control.
Coordination with multiple stakeholders was essential, including architects and the main contractor.
All works had to meet strict safety requirements to protect operatives, site teams and the public below.
System Design
A brise soleil system was installed to provide external solar shading at penthouse level.
The system was designed to integrate with the façade while maintaining a clean and consistent appearance.
Integration
The installation was coordinated with the wider building design.
- Aligned with façade and architectural detailing
- Installed in collaboration with project stakeholders
Bespoke Engineering
Working at height required a specialist approach.
Installation methods were planned to ensure safe handling, positioning and fixing of external shading components.
Fabric & Performance
The brise soleil system provides passive solar control.
- Reduced solar gain at penthouse level
- Improved internal comfort without mechanical systems
Delivery & Installation
The Outcome
The completed installation provides effective solar shading at penthouse level while integrating with the building’s architectural design.
The brise soleil system reduces solar gain and supports internal comfort without relying on active systems.
All works were delivered in line with safety requirements, ensuring a secure installation in a high-risk environment.
The result is a practical solution that combines performance, safety and design.
