We collaborate with architects to efficiently explore a wide range of glass design options to help them realize their aesthetic vision.

Our team has a deep understanding of glass element assembly, post-breakage behavior, analysis techniques, R&D/physical testing requirements, and maintenance issues relating to the use of structural glass.

What Makes Structural Glass Design Different at Entuitive?

Our commitment to engineering performance and advanced technology means we use the latest software to model our glass designs, exploring how they will perform in real life. When working with complex geometries, finite element analyses are completed so local stress patterns can be examined in detail.

The key to successful glass structures is the design of the connections between the glass members and the interfaces between the glass and the adjacent components. Through the understanding of construction details on such projects, Entuitive can assist manufacturers in achieving successful outcomes.

Project Highlights

Layered Gallery

London, UK

This private art gallery in Fitzrovia was conceived by the architect as an addition to the garden landscape, providing a space for the display of the client's collection as well as a hidden washroom, a balcony space overlooking the garden, and an outdoor kitchen. In the gallery, the geometric structure of the layered façade is reflected in the semi-transparent steel-mesh panels on which works are displayed, which slide along ceiling tracks to reveal multiple layers of display space. The new space is accessed through a Grade II listed house.

J M Mills Cricket Pavilion

Won at competition, this project replaced a dilapidated pavilion at Oundle School. The building is an isosceles triangle in plan, providing entertainment and catering space in addition to changing facilities. The clock and honours boards from the old 1956 pavilion were reincorporated into the new building, forging a link to the school's strong cricketing tradition.
