PINNACLE APARTMENTS - AUCKLAND
KFI were invited to design, manufacture and install a curtainwall solution for the conversion of a 6 level oval shaped commercial building into a 15 level apartment building, which was considered (and preferred) alongside a traditional cladding and punched window solution.
​
Designed and delivered alongside Summit Construction, PBA and Aurecon, the final solution involved a modified mullion to our existing 200mm unitised curtainwall, installed on a 3 way adjustable bracket system to accommodate what were large inconsistencies in the existing structure.
​
Balconies were protected with a custom designed frameless glass balustrade and access to these is via our High Rise Sliding Door system that were installed into timber framed openings.
​
The adjacent structure connecting the sliding doors to the curtain wall was covered in a rigid air barrier and had a 3mm solid aluminium panel installed over the face.
​
Inter tenancy balcony screens were provided in a 20mm powdercoat honeycomb panel to match the rest of the façade.
