Windows that maximised the stunning sea-views of the Sandbanks peninsula was an over-riding criteria at this prestigious south-coast development. Situated on the edge of Poole Harbour the glazing had to be capable of withstanding the exposed conditions of its seaside location whilst still offering high levels of thermal performance.

Mirage is part of the Sandbanks area development, voted the fourth most valuable real estate in the world and home to some of the highest specification building work currently being undertaken in the UK. The buildings that are emerging in the area are drawing attention from investors looking for a high quality, seaside location.

The architects for the 28 apartments and penthouse that make up Mirage designed each to have a balcony or terrace that was accessed throught the living or sleeping area.

The slim frames of the Dualframe systems enabled the architects to maximise the views from all aspects of the location whilst still design in strong horizontal lines that suited the developments' contemporary apperance. This design also ensured that each apartment could enjoy the maximum amount of light which floods into every room of the appartments.
