Prince St Cronulla Residential

Project Overview

This project involved the façade engineering for a residential building in Cronulla, where Brushwood designed and certified a range of toughened laminated glass elements including balustrades, pool and spa glazing and privacy screens. Channel and point-fixed with no top rails, the frameless glass delivers a clean, uninterrupted outlook and is the only frameless glass design along the water for this building. Because frameless glass relies entirely on its fixings and glass make-up for safety, each element, from non-structural privacy panels to curved and straight balustrades, was verified against wind loads, structural glazing requirements and the relevant Australian Standards. Brushwood worked closely with D.velop.R and the glazing contractor to resolve details through to completed installation.

Our Scope

  • Designed the frameless glass façade elements, confirming glass thickness, fixing method and panel layout were adequate for wind and imposed loads.
  • Engineered the balustrades, pool and spa glazing and privacy screens across the building, including curved and straight glass.
  • Assessed the design against AS 1288 requirements for glass in buildings, including compliance under Section 7.4.6.
  • Prepared the engineering design analysis pack, structural drawing markups and updated certificates as the design developed.
  • Issued formal Structural Design Certificates confirming the glass elements complied with the relevant Australian Standards and the National Construction Code.
