Inspiration & Applications
Explore the design possibilities and performance capabilities of our aluminum, uPVC, and glazing systems — from floor-to-ceiling residential glazing to large-scale commercial facades.
Design Inspiration — Concept References
The images and references below represent the design possibilities, quality, and architectural context achievable with the systems we offer. As we complete verified installations, project photographs will be added here. All references below are design inspiration and concept references — they are not presented as completed NU Architectural projects.
What's Possible With Our Systems
Six application types — each illustrating a different way our aluminum, uPVC, and glazing systems can transform a space.
Floor-to-Ceiling Glazing — Residential
Large fixed and opening aluminum units bring dramatic natural light into residential living spaces. Thermally broken frames minimize heat loss while maximizing transparency — creating the visual connection between interior and landscape that defines contemporary luxury residential design.
Lift & Slide Doors — Indoor-Outdoor Living
The Alumil SMARTIA S560 lift-and-slide system opens entire walls to terraces, gardens, and outdoor spaces. Large glass panels glide with minimal effort on precision hardware tracks, creating a seamless transition between interior and exterior that transforms how a space is used and experienced.
Aluminum Casement Windows — Modern Facade
The slim profile of the Alumil SMARTIA S67 casement system delivers a contemporary facade appearance — narrow sight lines, flush exterior surfaces, and a clean grid of glass that defines modern architectural language. Available in a full palette of powder-coated finishes to complement any exterior material.
uPVC Windows — Energy-Efficient Renovation
The VEKA SOFTLINE 82 uPVC system brings a significant improvement to the thermal and acoustic performance of older buildings. Its multi-chamber profile construction, deep 82mm frame depth, and compatibility with high-performance double and triple glazing make it a strong choice for renovation projects prioritizing energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
Entry Doors — Architectural Entrance
An entry door is the first architectural statement a visitor encounters. Premium aluminum entry doors combine precise hardware, robust multi-point locking, and considered detail design to create entrances that are both secure and visually striking. The entry door sets the expectation for everything inside.
Commercial Glazing — Open Plan Workspace
Contemporary commercial workplaces favor transparency — large glazed facades, internal glass partitions, and views that connect occupants to the city. Aluminum systems with slim profiles maximize glazing area while maintaining structural integrity for large commercial applications. Appropriate glazing specification manages solar heat gain and acoustic separation.

Specify This System →Verified Project Photography
As NU Architectural completes installations and receives client approval to document them, verified project photographs will be added to this page. Our commitment to transparency means we will not display images as completed NU Architectural projects until they genuinely are.
When project photography is added, it will include project type, location context (where the client consents), system specified, and key performance features. We do not present other manufacturers' installations as our own work.
