The Pole House gets all of the attention, but the
main house is hardly any slouch.
Did you select local sourced glass for a specific
reason or philosophy?
As houses go it’s possibly an even nicer house than
the pole house to live in. They’re different. Both
are quite dramatic. Each has a certain bravado and
glass is at the heart of that heroic connection to
place while also offering more intimate spaces for
day to day living.
Our preference is local whenever possible because
of technical back-up and quality assurance. There
are really a couple of reasons. One is the longevity
of supply and service but also the continuity of
technical service. It’s very easy to go out and buy
cheap, imported glazing but if you want to use
glass in well-detailed, long-life and well-crafted
assemblies, you need quality technical back-up.
The only way the technical team can be there to
help you to achieve those outcomes is to use their
product. Sometimes tenderers substitute glass. We
try to clearly specify what is required. We’ve used
Viridian’s product with confidence over many years.
