New bridge forms part of a wider rationalisation of the site

Paul Vick Architects has completed a new 15-m long glass bridge, providing a connection within the HQ of a global telecoms firm.

The glass also incorporates varied translucencies for privacy, diverse textures, and angles that facilitate passive sun shading.
