Their first establishment in London always remains their brand priority. It behaves as the catalyst for change and improvement. Priding themselves on the quirkiness of their ‘atypical places’, the brand was looking for something striking for their site in uber-trendy East London. Their search for extraordinary makes ways for them to partner with Libart.

The roof of the central courtyard which was serving as first-floor roof garden underwent a radical rethink. It was removed so that the opportunity of indoor comfort and outdoor freedom should be availed using the Libart Solaglide retractable glass roof system. The sliding glass roof that was used covers the 8.5m x 8.5m courtyard at ground level.

The project was tricky as the central courtyard space was also not perfectly square. It was of utmost importance to take the exact measurements during the survey. On the other side, the deadline was tight. Libart has to work with all the other construction partners at the site that are working simultaneously. Great coordinated teamwork was exhibited at the site considering all the necessary safety and health standards as per Libart’s operational norm. Considerable challenge; to install the support steel structure and movement of roof profiles, glass inside the courtyard from the cranes due to its central location in the building. Done and Dusted!
