Press Room: IQ Glass Rhodes House AJ Awards Finalist

IQ Glass Rhodes House AJ Awards Finalist

IQ Glass is delighted to announce that Rhodes House, designed by Stanton Williams and featuring bespoke glazing solutions by IQ Projects, has been shortlisted in the prestigious Heritage Project category at the AJ Architecture Awards 2024.

Rhodes-House

This extraordinary project seamlessly integrates modern architectural glazing within the historic Grade II listed Rhodes House at the University of Oxford. A key highlight of the design is the stunning glass pavilion, crafted with oversized 5-meter-tall structural glass panels. These panels offer uninterrupted 360-degree views of the surrounding gardens while serving a dual purpose: enhancing the aesthetic appeal and supporting the curved timber roof structure.

The installation of these impressive glass units required precise planning and specialized crane equipment to protect the integrity of the historic site. Collaborating closely with Stanton Williams, IQ Glass navigated the complexities of heritage regulations and site challenges to deliver a glazing solution that is both high-performing and visually striking.

The glass pavilion now stands as a serene space for scholars and visitors, exemplifying the harmony between modern design and historical preservation.
