Why are curves so important in architecture?

Curved architecture mimics the natural world, making us feel content and secure.

That's why curves are becoming an increasingly common sight across façades. By introducing curves, architects soften harsh angles, creating elegant, flowing lines.

This makes spaces feel more inviting, more beautiful, more natural.

But there is one problem. Designing curved components for buildings typically involves bespoke engineering practices.

This not only makes them more expensive, it makes them hard to achieve at scale.

This used to be the case for balconies – until now.

We recently had the chance to sit down with David Donachie and Adam West, Directors of CZWG Architects.

CZWG are masters of curved architecture, and we had the privilege to work with them on the first delivery of our brand new innovation: the Crescent™ Corner balcony.

Here's what they have to tell us about the current trend for curved architecture – and why it may not be as out of reach as it seems.
