Editor note
Mirrored brown reflective glass, forming the casing of the central three-floor staircase at Ferrari Style London. Gonzalez Haase's clearest architectural gesture on the project. Domus described the result as 'resembling a flash of light cutting across the interior,' with a single full-height Rosso Ferrari handrail running from basement to first floor in one continuous line. The material is doing specific architectural work — the mirror-brown finish absorbs rather than disperses reflection, producing a register closer to smoked glass than polished steel. Paired with the hand-brushed stainless steel perimeter elsewhere in the store, it separates circulation from display. One red line, three floors, sculpted in mirror-finish glass — the piece of the project that will remain legible as Ferrari London's signature in ten years. Specification is bespoke; a trade-grade mirror-finish brown-tint laminated glass system suitable for architectural glazing at this register. UK fabricators capable of bespoke tinted-mirror laminated systems at architectural commercial spec include Fusion Glass (London) and Firman Glass (Romford); commissioning route runs through Gonzalez Haase as architect of record for this specific build, with the named UK fabricators as the equivalent supply chain a UK specifier would use to reach the same finish.
