As part of the comprehensive refurbishment of One James Street, a landmark commercial redevelopment in the heart of London's West End, we were appointed to design, manufacture and install a bespoke frameless glass balustrade system to the building's premium rooftop terrace. The scheme transformed the existing mixed-use building with new office amenity space, an enhanced reception, Cat A office accommodation and a high-quality rooftop terrace designed to promote wellbeing and collaboration. faithdean.co.uk
"Uninterrupted views. Minimalist design. A rooftop terrace that redefines premium workplace amenities."
The rooftop terrace demanded a balustrade solution that would provide uncompromised safety while preserving uninterrupted views across the London skyline. Our frameless structural glass balustrade system, complete with a concealed aluminium base channel and slimline top cap, was selected to deliver a clean, contemporary aesthetic that complements the architectural vision of the development.
Manufactured using 21.5mm toughened laminated glass, the system combines exceptional structural performance with minimal visual intrusion, allowing the terrace to become a standout amenity space for occupiers.
Working alongside the main contractor and wider project team, every element of the balustrade was fabricated to exacting standards before being installed by our experienced site operatives. Careful coordination ensured seamless integration with the rooftop finishes and surrounding architectural details, delivering a flawless finish worthy of one of London's most desirable commercial addresses.
The completed balustrade forms an integral part of a rooftop destination designed to encourage collaboration, wellbeing and flexible working. By combining structural performance with understated architectural detailing, the system enhances the user experience while maintaining the clean sightlines and premium aesthetic expected of a landmark West End office refurbishment.
The result is a sophisticated frameless glass balustrade solution that reflects the quality, innovation and attention to detail synonymous with modern commercial developments, creating a rooftop terrace that is as impressive in performance as it is in appearance.
