With the winter gardens such an important part of the Lucient apartments' exotic appeal, the operable glass louvres that make them possible play a vital role both from within the individual apartments, and also from the bustling city streets below.

Architectural Glass Projects (AGP) was responsible for the supply and installation of all the Fineline-XTS operable glass louvres on the St Kilda Road facade, as well as the louvres on the west elevation. AGP's extensive skill base allowed it to undertake the entire curved facade treatment, as well as the main entry doors and associated fixed glazing on the lower levels.

Ideally suited for the apartment winter gardens, the large, frameless glass operable louvres open in opposite directions to provide users with greater clear viewing space. The horizontal and vertical louvre seals allow the balcony spaces to be used even in the most adverse weather conditions. In addition, opening the louvres allows residents to promote natural airflow and ventilation within their apartments.

The Lucient apartments continue a tradition of upmarket operable glass louvre projects for AGP in Melbourne, with other notable projects including the Urban Workshop at 50 Lonsdale Street, the Transport Bar at Federation Square, BHP Billiton headquarters at QV1 and the Melbourne GPO.
