Set in the historical St Katherine's Dock adjacent to Tower Bridge, this period house has been completely transformed into an extremely desirable contemporary residence. The main living room is greatly enhanced by the new dramatic cantilevered glass staircase which is constructed from Low Iron laminated toughened glass treads extending 1.3M from the wall. The glass balustrade is designed to float above the treads following the profile of the stair from top to bottom. This adds to the minimalist look and creates a new precedent in glass staircase manufacture. The total weight of the glass used on this project was just over 2 Tons.
