Three 20m high glass lift enclosures comprised of stacked glass panels supporting their own weight all the way down, and a series of welded flat plate portal frames providing lateral stability of the whole structure. Stainless steel portal frames attached to the concrete slab at each floor level, with specially designed fixings to accommodate vertical movement of the floor due to shrinkage, creep and live load deformations. The project is well into the fabrication stage now and is expected to be on site for installation very soon.
