Bradley.Basso: light modulation and integration

Quality of light: Context and integration

Entrance hall and stairway windows, contextual intervention

Residential project, Barnet London NW4 UK

This lattice design provides a continuous integrated screen surface, linking with other windows in the property, but erodes and contains the interplay of varying tones and clear views in the upper sections, where screening and privacy are unnecessary.

Stairway window. Contextual intervention to unify the function of screening and ambience, and the architectural essence of the interiors.

Variable levels of obscurity can be achieved by acid embossing tones and textures to the glass surfaces. These can be used to create design or image, integration or focus and importantly, control the quality of light.

The combination of standard production obscure glass with specially designed glass treatments can provide a unique site-specific result with useful economic savings. Double glazed units are acid embossed, sandblasted, and textured on the interfaced surfaces to provide protection to the worked glass. This also facilitates ease of cleaning to both other surfaces.
