Acrylic windows and frames for a boat

The project

As part of repairs to his boat, @archinieur commissioned Archicercle to design and produce windows and their interior frames. The commission combined clear acrylic windows with black acrylic frames, with the components prepared for subsequent fixing and screwing into place.

The work covered both the windows and the frames intended to sit on the inside, overlapping them. The design addressed this relationship between the components and incorporated the holes needed for fitting.

The components were produced using laser cutting. The holes were also countersunk so that the screw heads would sit flush: a detail in the preparation of the parts that formed part of the planned fixing arrangement.

The commission resulted in clear windows and black interior frames, made to measure for the boat repairs. Archicercle’s contribution brought together component design, fabrication and preparation of the fixing points.

The black frames were designed to sit on the inside, overlapping the clear windows.

Countersinking the holes allowed the screw heads to sit flush with the surface.
