Grosvenor House, Sheffield

Grosvenor House is a landmark mixed-use development that forms the first phase of Sheffield’s Heart of the City II masterplan designed by Leonard Design Architects (LDA).

In order to achieve the aesthetic distinction between the uses (offices and retail) two systems were selected – an enhanced capped system for the offices to provide the support for the terracotta and to accommodate the double-glazed units and the anodised panels – and a structural silicone (cap-less) glazing system for the retail units.

The four-storey atrium space is capped with a fully glazed Schüco roof light that includes a bespoke arrangement of fritted double-glazed units to control glare and solar gain.
