PROJECT STORY
Architecture first.
An arch looks decorative only after installation. Before that it is a set of exact radii, chord dimensions, templates and control points that must align between the building opening, aluminium profile and glass.
With a rectangular window, an error can often be identified with a tape measure. In curved geometry, one incorrect point can change the entire shape. The opening, segmentation strategy and the way any opening elements operate inside the curve therefore need to be checked before fabrication.
CASE STUDY
What is checked before fabrication
01
Actual opening geometry
An arched opening should not be assumed to be perfect because the drawing is. Control points and a physical or digital template provide more useful information than one nominal radius.
02
How the frame is divided
Segmentation has to look natural on the façade while keeping profile, glass and connection sizes technically realistic.
03
Opening elements
If opening sashes sit inside the curved outline, hardware space, opening paths and clearances to adjacent parts have to be verified in advance.
Result
Bespoke aluminium elements follow the intended façade geometry rather than simplifying the arches into standard rectangular openings.
ENGINEERING DOSSIER
What sits behind the finished photograph.
The notes describe the project logic. Parameters that are not present in a confirmed specification are deliberately not presented as exact figures.
Critical risk
Templates, control dimensions and tolerances become critical because one error reads across the entire curve.
Engineering decision
Bespoke aluminium elements were produced from coordinated geometry with installation control points.
Outcome
The arch reads as one continuous line rather than a collection of separate window segments.
