Overcoming Challenges with Innovation
The Keybridge, Phase 2 presented a unique set of challenges that required innovative solutions. One of the primary hurdles was achieving exceptional thermal performance while adhering to the architectural integrity of the 37-storey brick tower. The project demanded glazing solutions that not only complemented the striking design but also met the structural and energy efficiency standards expected in modern construction.
In addition to thermal performance, the project faced particularly demanding acoustic requirements. Ensuring that the glazing systems delivered superior sound insulation was critical to maintaining a comfortable indoor environment in this high-profile development. The architectural team’s vision required advanced materials capable of balancing these dual demands—thermal and acoustic performance—without compromising the visual appeal or functionality of the iconic structure.
Crystal Units’ innovative solutions ensured that these challenges were successfully met, delivering exceptional performance while preserving the architectural vision of the Keybridge.
