PROJECT REPORT: HOTELS, RESTAURANTS & BARS; CLERKENWELL DESIGN WEEK SHOW PREVIEW
Bringing light to Fairmont Windsor Park Hotel S
ituated in the English countryside of Windsor Great Park, within a short commute from central London, the
Fairmont Windsor Park Hotel is described as a luxury retreat from the city with a focus on health and authentic wellness. LAMILUX designed,
supplied, and
installed an impressive faceted domed rooflight with an internal span of 8.5 meters to display a remarkable example of how the LAMILUX Glass Roof PR60 can achieve almost any bespoke shaped glass roof solution. The bespoke rooflight compliments the modern elegance of the indulgent retreat, whilst flooding the hotel foyer with an abundance of natural daylight.
Working with the architect from the early planning stage of the project, LAMILUX presented a design providing a glazed solution, which closely resembles the design intent and the style of architectural heritage that the hotel was to represent. The factory prefabricated rooflight assembly,
which
included everything above the perimeter concrete opening, is a self-spanning structure requiring no additional sub-structure above the pre-weathered kerbs.
The LAMILUX installation team framed out the 2.2 tonnes of steelwork within a dedicated exclusion zone at ground level on site before using a tele-handler to crane the structure into position at roof level and fixing it to the faceted perimeter upstand. A key consideration of the installation was to check the diagonal dimensions were equal for squareness. Careful diligence was therefore necessary with the assembly of the aluminium frame mullion and transoms.
The spectacular domed rooflight was then glazed with an impressive total of 64 glass panels, each a bespoke size and shape, to make up the unusual shape and complete the

Join IVC Commercial at The Gallery Clerkenwell for Clerkenwell Design Week as it explores the power of nature in design. Across the three days, the brand is holding a programme of creative and informative events that explore the central theme of nature and how it can be used to connect people with the spaces in which they work. IVC Commercial is giving the architecture and design community the chance to explore how the natural world infl uences approach to the design of commercial interiors. From the supportive qualities of nature in interior materials and spatial design to the need to be active in building a sustainable future that preserves the planet for future generations, the programme has something for everyone involved in the design of today’s work, leisure and living spaces. On Tuesday afternoon, visitors can take part in a Kokedama workshop that teaches the Japanese technique of hanging indoor plants. For those keen to hear opinion from peers on the topics that matter, Wednesday’s Live Interviews with Grant Gibson is not to be missed. Thursday is a chance to explore multi-material fl ooring solutions including the new Origin luxury vinyl tiles collection and have your questions answered by the team.
