We are working on the podium and panoramic viewing platform of the highest tower in Bulgaria (202m). The Sky Fort tower is part of a large complex in the East of the city with potential to become the definitive business district of Sofia. The podium scope involves a number of structural glass enclosures consisting of flat or single curved panels measuring up to 3.2m wide x  8.0m high.
