The architectural design, which is strongly guided by brand guidelines set centrally by Jaguar Land Rover, makes a feature of its glazing, with a 24-metre wide, 3.7-metre tall sweeping façade of frameless glass that maximises the visibility of the showroom floor from outside the building.
To help form a near-invisible barrier between the showroom floor and the outside, it was important for the glass to be unencumbered by imposing frames or supports and for it to be as clear and colourless as possible.
These twin challenges were met with a combination of the Pilkington Planar™ structural glazing system and Pilkington Optiwhite™ extra-clear, low-iron glass.
