William Guthrie

Established in 2020, the practice seeks to make buildings and spaces that support and enrich the environments in which they are constructed and the lives of the individuals and communities they serve.
Our buildings are shaped by an understanding of the past, an awareness of the present, and a concern for the future.
The qualities of proportion, scale, arrangement and form occupy positions of central importance in the way the practice thinks about buildings, as well as the materials employed in their construction, and the methods and techniques applied to their assembly.
We believe our greatest responsibility as architects and inhabitants of a fragile planet is to act as good ancestors. Accordingly, we aspire to make efficient, comfortable and versatile buildings that live long and productive lives.
Above all, we are driven by the conviction that good buildings are a product of skilled, passionate and committed people working together in an atmosphere of mutual respect, trust and patience.

PANORAMAH!

With surfaces above 98% structural glass, minimalist windows are all about glazing. From an industrial point of view, more significant glass dimensions require larger tempering furnaces, smooth operability and technical performances impose precision and higher quality standards, often more demanding than defined by international glass processing norms.
To keep up with new challenges, panoramah! verticalized its industrial activity and integrated glass transformation in 2011. Continuously investing in its transformation capacity ever since, it became one of the largest glass transformers in Europe with a 9-metre furnace and the ability to process double- and triple-glazed units up to 29 sqm. This capacity has proved critical in different processes, mainly as glass progressively absorbs new functions, admits irregular and curved shapes or assumes various aesthetic requirements.
panoramah! is currently the only manufacturer of minimalist windows in the world that processes and manufactures the main components of its systems, having full control and accountability over the entire process. From design to manufacture and installation, we answer for the complete system, both glass and aluminium. We streamlined glass transformation, adaptation to the system and transportation to the job site, rendering an apparently risky and complex procedure into an everyday job.
Furthermore, with built experience in over 60 different countries and a strong network of more than 50 certified specialized partners, panoramah! is effectively present throughout the globe. Supported by our team, this network is composed by fully experienced technicians that ensure a constant presence at all stages, from glazing consulting to installation and long-term maintenance.
