The James Beck Manufactory residential complex, located on Petrogradskaya Embankment, is an ode to the harmony between historical heritage and modern comfort. Its unique location, in the embrace of the Neva water area and the greenery of the Botanical Garden, offers residents breathtaking views and creates a unique atmosphere of privacy. The name of the complex is an echo of the past referring to the English merchant James Beck and his paper-spinning manufactory, whose walls served as a source of inspiration for the architects. Studio 44 created an architectural ensemble in the author's style skillfully integrating the brick facades into the historical landscape of Petrograd side.
The James Beck Manufactory residential complex is fitted with advanced insulated glass units from the X-ONE range produced by the Russian Glass Company. Each glass unit is created according to individual formulas developed specifically for this project. These technological constructions are a multi-layered combination of durable tempered glass separated by argon-filled air chambers created for different tasks.
Thus, the X-ONE Climate MULTI range was chosen for glazing the main window openings. These insulated glass units, like a light veil, let in light and reliably retain heat. Their multifunctionality allows to effectively manage sunlight preventing overheating in summer and keeping warm in winter, as they are equipped with a remote frame with thermal break providing exceptional thermal insulation and creating a comfortable microclimate at any time of the year.
For balconies and terraces glazing the X-ONE Protection range was chosen to provide reliable protection against external influences. Its multi-layer construction with durable tempered glass guarantees safety and durability, like an invisible wall protecting unwanted effects of the external environment.
RC “The James Beck Manufactory” is a place where history meets modernity, where technology serves comfort and architecture inspires. The choice of unique insulated glass units from the X-ONE range is another confirmation of our commitment to excellence, innovation and care for every resident. It is a space where every day is filled with light and harmony.
