Rooftop extensions offer a considered response to the limitations of dense urban environments, where expanding outwards is rarely possible and opportunities exist to build upwards.

Across London, IQ Projects has delivered bespoke glazing solutions for rooftop extensions that respond to structural, planning and heritage constraints.

At projects such as BAFTA in Piccadilly and Savile Row, glazing allows rooftop spaces to open up to panoramic views, while schemes such as Borough High Street and Pennybank in Clerkenwell demonstrate how new levels can be introduced with minimal visual impact within sensitive urban contexts.

Glazing plays a key role in shaping these elevated spaces, supporting how they perform and are experienced. Natural light, views, environmental performance and the relationship between interior and exterior all need to be carefully balanced to create spaces that feel open, functional and connected to the wider city.

Structural glazing played a key role in the extension to Maggie's Centres in Cheltenham, designed to sit alongside a Grade II listed Victorian lodge.

The challenge was to introduce a contemporary glazed space without compromising the sensitive scale and character of the original building.

Using thermally broken Invisio structural glazing, frameless rooflights and minimal junction detailing, the extension delivers increased daylight, clear movement routes and a strong visual connection to the surrounding gardens.

The result is a glazing package where performance and restraint work together to support the wider architectural intent.

Sustainability is not an 'add on' to successful projects, it is the driver.

At Chart Street Studios, the project’s success lies in its commitment to reuse over replacement, retaining around 86% of the existing structure and extending it through low‑carbon, timber-led construction. This approach drastically reduced embodied carbon while extending the building’s useful life for decades to come.

Glazing plays a quiet but critical role in this equation. At Chart Street Studios, carefully detailed opening glazing supports daylighting, natural ventilation and flexible occupation – all without compromising the integrity of the original fabric.

For developers, architects and occupiers alike, this project is a compelling example of how retrofit-first strategies can align environmental responsibility with commercial performance and architectural quality.

Exeter Cathedral represents one of the UK’s most significant historic environments, where any contemporary intervention requires a highly sensitive and considered approach.

Working with Acanthus Clews Architects, IQ Projects contributed to a multi-phased development focused on improving access and usability within the Grade I listed building.

The introduction of a glazed atrium and entrance to the Chapter House demonstrates how contemporary glazing can support historic architecture without compromising its integrity.

The timber-framed atrium incorporates frameless structural glazing, including curved roof glass and frameless pivot doors, designed to sit lightly against the existing fabric.

Across Cheltenham, Wirral and North Wales, IQ Projects has delivered specialist glazing packages for three Maggie's Centres spaces designed to support people affected by cancer through architecture, light and connection.

Each building is shaped by an “architecture for wellbeing” approach, where daylight, access to nature and a calm, softly detailed environment play a critical role in the user experience.

From structural glazing extensions in heritage settings to open corner sliding doors and solar controlled facades, each project responds to its environment - while delivering the same outcome: supportive, human centred spaces.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be exploring each project in more detail.

The redevelopment of Royal Opera House in Covent Garden required a careful balance between contemporary intervention and the preservation of a globally recognised cultural landmark.

As part of the “Open Up” redevelopment designed with Stanton Williams, the upper-floor restaurant and bar were extensively renovated, incorporating a series of bespoke glazing interventions by IQ Projects to improve circulation, flexibility and public engagement within the building.

Glazing was introduced to protect external dining spaces while maintaining views across the courtyard below. Bespoke sliding glass partitions were designed to remain visually minimal, preserving the historic architecture and spatial experience.

A defining feature of the project is a series of structural glass oriel windows projecting from the restaurant into the balcony space. These inhabitable glazed volumes create unique seating areas, enhancing the connection to the surrounding architecture while maintaining the transparency of the envelope.

Explore how bespoke glazing can be integrated within complex cultural refurbishments.

As the London Festival of Architecture begins this month, it offers a moment to reflect on how architecture shapes “belonging” through connection, access and shared experience across the city.

Across cultural and community-led projects, IQ Projects has delivered bespoke architectural glazing solutions designed to balance openness, daylight and accessibility with the sensitivities of existing buildings and public spaces.

At Lea Bridge Library in East London, glazing forms part of the transformation of a Grade II listed building into a renewed civic space. Working with Studio Weave, a new timber-framed extension introduces a café and flexible community areas, with a full-height glazed façade connecting interior spaces to the surrounding landscape and mature trees.

At The Pitt Building, a landmark historic venue, frameless glass draft lobbies create a welcoming and accessible point of arrival, improving comfort and circulation while maintaining the openness of the existing architecture. Designed with Allies and Morrison.

Thoughtful architectural interventions can help shape spaces that feel more welcoming, open and connected to the people who use them.

Overlooking the coast, Fowey Hall Hotel has been thoughtfully renewed as a contemporary seaside retreat.

IQ Projects delivered bespoke glazing for a wider renovation to the main house, courtyard, and spa, bringing more natural light into the home while enhancing connections to the interior spaces and surrounding landscape.

Working alongside Blake and Blake Architects, IQ Projects designed, manufactured, and installed a range of glazing systems throughout the hotel.

Minimal windows® sliding doors, alongside casement doors and windows, were specified with a specialist marine-grade finish suited to the exposed coastal conditions. Installed in bi-parting and multi-track configurations, the slim sliding systems allow guest spaces to open directly onto terraces and gardens.

Marine-grade coatings were essential for this coastal site, ensuring long-term durability and resistance to corrosion from salt-laden air.

Savile Row is one of London’s most exacting commercial contexts, where contemporary intervention demands precision, discretion, and exceptional attention to detail.

Working with Piercy & Company, IQ Projects delivered bespoke glazing across this Mayfair redevelopment, which also serves as the head office for Derwent London. The scheme ranges from minimal façades and rooftop extensions to steel-framed Mondrian® systems.

We introduced a rooftop glass box featuring minimal windows® pocket doors, structural glazing, and roof lights. The doors slide into concealed pockets to create a seamless indoor–outdoor connection, while 21mm sightlines and flush thresholds maintain clarity and uninterrupted views across London.

Building 23 introduced bespoke glass pods rising to a structural glass roof, using curved and flat glazing to define spaces while maintaining light and openness; qualities that are difficult to achieve within dense central London buildings.

Across all stages of the Savile Row development, IQ Projects designed, supplied, and installed the architectural glazing to ensure each intervention supported the wider architectural vision.

Clerkenwell Design Week offers a moment to reflect on the area’s long‑standing role in commercial architecture, material innovation and design‑led refurbishment.

Across Clerkenwell and the surrounding central London fringe, refurbishment projects demand glazing that responds sensitively to existing fabric, dense urban conditions and planning constraints, while still introducing openness, daylight and usability.

At St John Street in Clerkenwell, IQ Projects delivered recessed structural glazing set between Portland stone columns, redefining the ground‑floor façade as part of an Art‑Deco‑influenced refurbishment. The result is a contemporary intervention that balances transparency, proportion and long‑term performance within an urban context.

Elsewhere in the area, projects such as Wolverine HQ show how internal glazing screens can shape contemporary workplaces, supporting visual connection and flexibility within existing buildings. On sites including Pentonville Road and Ropemaker Street, specialist structural and fire‑rated glazing has been coordinated to meet regulatory demands without compromising architectural clarity.

In each of these schemes, IQ Projects designed and installed the architectural glazing, working closely with architects and contractors to ensure glazing supports the wider design intent.

As Clerkenwell Design Week returns, it highlights the continued role of carefully considered refurbishment in shaping sustainable commercial architecture across central London.
