This project takes place within a super high-end residential building located in the exclusive community of Sonoma County. Situated along the stunning cliffs overlooking the Pacific, this area is characterized by its exclusive and architecturally distinctive real estate.

 

 

Our role involves integrating our photovoltaic glass into the roofs of three distinct circular structures—resembling delectable cheesecakes. This approach not only enhances the aesthetics but also harnesses solar power.

 

The system boasts a capacity of approximately 40 KWp, covering an area exceeding 3,500 sqft. Configured as 6+6 with an anti-slip surface, crystalline cells, and a sleek black ceramic frit finish, it seamlessly blends form and function. Our collaboration extends to Eckersley O'Callaghan, a London-based structural and façade engineering company known for partnering with visionary clients on cutting-edge projects that push the boundaries of what is possible.
