Our Contribution

We were engaged as the specialized facade contractor to execute the core scope of work. Our team was responsible for the end-to-end installation of the new curtain wall system. We managed the procurement, logistics, and hoisting of large-format glass and framing components. The scope required precise execution to install the extensive glazing across the multi-story structure. We ensured the new system was securely anchored and integrated with the existing building frame.

Key Features

The defining feature of the project is the expansive, modern curtain wall facade system. This system utilizes large insulated glass units to create a sleek, continuous exterior appearance. The new glazing maximizes natural light penetration into the residential living spaces. High-performance materials were selected to improve the thermal efficiency of the building envelope. The design provides a dramatic visual upgrade from traditional residential exteriors.

Challenges and Solutions

Installing a major facade system on an existing multi-residential complex presented significant logistical hurdles. Solution: We developed phased installation schedules to minimize disruption to current residents. Handling and hoisting large curtain wall panels required precise coordination on the active site. Solution: Specialized rigging equipment and certified operators were utilized for safe, efficient placement. Ensuring a weather-tight seal against the existing structure was critical.

Impact and Benefits

The new curtain wall has drastically transformed the visual identity and curb appeal of Marlborough House. Residents enjoy brighter living spaces and enhanced views due to the expansive glass. The upgraded thermal performance of the facade contributes to improved energy efficiency. The modernization significantly increases the marketability and value of the property assets. The project successfully repositioned the building as a premier contemporary residential location.
