Tower 41, (London, England – 1975)
London’s tallest building until 1990. 47 floor of bespoke double glazed, stainless steel curtain wall with bronze feature fins to plantroom areas. An iconic building in the centre of London’s business district (System Design Team)

Tower Bridge, (London, England – 1978)
Upper Level covered walk way enclosure design. A difficult design with server limitations on fixing attachments to the original structure. If you are ever in London its worth a visit. (System Designer)

Nottingham Concert Hall, (Nottingham, England – 1981)
A thermally broken curtain of expressed mullions and transom design, incorporating high performance reflective glass. Main feature of the job was the use of curved on plan glass. (System Designer)

Miller House, (Maidstone, London, England – 1984)
Full external refurbishment comprising double glazing with new 6mm pressed aluminium architectural feature panels to both columns and spandrels all supported on a custom designed bespoke stainless steel structure.(Designed and Project Managed)

Smith and Smith Cube, (Penrose, Auckland, NZ – 1988)
A thermally shielded curtain wall with a difference. A very unique eight metre square Rubik cube design made more difficult by the structure being built skewed on two axes. (Designed and Project Managed)

110 Symonds Street, (Auckland, NZ – 1990)
A thermally shielded stick curtain wall with fully integrated vertically and horizontal composite feature panels. A building that still stands out above the rest today. (Designed and Project Managed)

BNZ Bank Twin Towers, (Auckland, NZ – 1991)
The centre piece of Auckland CBD, twin 28 storey towers comprising a thermally shielded double glazed curtain walling system. The use of different glass types has created a very stylish building with a timeless appearance. (Designed and Project Managed)

Marshallese Government Building, (Marshall Islands – 1992)
A large multi-levelled, tiered design developed from a stickcurtain wall with the use of high performance reflective glass. (Project Managed)
