Sapa Maximises Sea Views at Sandbanks

Windows that maximised the stunning sea views of the Sandbanks peninsula was an over-riding criterion at a prestigious development completed by Sapa Building Systems on the edge of Poole Harbour.

Sapa Building Systems Dualframe 75 system was specified for the glazing for the Mirage project which demanded high levels of thermal performance whilst being capable of withstanding the exposed conditions of its seaside location.

Mirage is part of the Sandbanks area development, voted the fourth most valuable real estate in the world and home to some of the highest specification building work currently being undertaken in the UK. Architects for the project, Peter Taylor Associates Limited, designed each of the project's 28 apartments to feature a balcony or terrace that was accessed through the living or sleeping areas.

The slim frames of the Dualframe system enabled the architects to maximise the views from all aspects of the location whilst still being able to feature strong horizontal lines that complemented the development's contemporary appearance. The use of Dualframe also ensured that the maximum amount of light could flood into every room of the apartments.

The project was completed by Sapa's fabricator Rustington Windows for developer Gleeson Homes.
