Known as the “Sky Garden House”, this luxury home is nestled on the banks of a waterway inlet to Noosa Heads Beach in Queensland, and is the first of two adjacent properties designed by Chris Clout Design, that Glasshape were chosen to supply 12mm (1/2 inch) clear bent glass for the two story curved feature Staircase.
“We were very happy to use Glasshape for our Noosa Sounds project. With certain criteria’s to work with, Glasshape could offer all we needed and more. Their product accuracy and quality was of the highest standard making installation a breeze.”
“We would highly recommend Glasshape for any curved glass project and would not hesitate to use them again.”
- Mathew Brown, Director – Frameless Shower Installations
Glasshape partnered with Frameless Shower Installations on this significant project, initially providing them with Digital Measuring Services, to capture the as-built concrete staircase form during its construction phase. Glasshape went on to process the Laser Scan Data, creating a 3D Computer Model of the Staircase, to which was added Glasshapes signature TemperShield Bent & Toughened Architectural Glass. The result of using Digital Measurements assures an accurate fit and finish of the Glass which marries perfectly with the Polished Concrete Staircase.
The finished Staircase stands testament to the combined efforts and expertise shared by all involved in this architectural masterpiece, that we are extremely proud to share with you.
The below Animation was produced by Glasshapes In-House Design Team, using a 3D Model which was produced from a combination of Laser Scan Data taken at the time of the Site Measure and House Plans supplied by the Client.
