01 / The problem

A unitised curtain wall retrofit over an existing frame, installed without vacating the floors.

The building stayed fully tenanted throughout. Unitised panels were craned and fixed from outside on a floor-by-floor sequence, with each storey's old glazing removed and new panels set within a single weekend window, so no tenant lost a working day.
