The design of the office and glass details were developed by Architect Duncan Nicholson working with Structural Engineer Andrew Nasser. The cantilevered glass canopy is secured with bolts at the header and has a custom triangular stainless steel fitting that secures the top and bottom glass panels that work together to support one another. The glass was installed by Brad Leslie of Giroux Glass the custom stainless steel hardware was fabricated by Breakform Design. During the installation Giroux Glass used a spider crane to manipulate the large panes of glass into place.
