43 BROOK GREEN.
Hammersmith, London
A heritage commercial building at 43 Brook Green sensitively reworked with new glazing systems and a contemporary rooftop extension enclosed in slim-sightline curtain walling.
43 Brook Green is a period commercial building in Hammersmith that received a full interior repositioning together with a new rooftop office storey. Delta Facades installed the replacement heritage-profile glazing to the retained elevations and the contemporary curtain wall enclosure to the rooftop extension — two very different systems meeting at a single, carefully-detailed parapet line. The result reads as a respectful continuation of the original building rather than an addition sitting on top of it.
The retained openings were laser-scanned to derive frame sizes that would match the historic sightlines exactly. The rooftop curtain wall was installed off an independent edge-protection scaffold with a spider crane, allowing the existing roof structure to remain untouched until the last possible moment.
