Purge 1 provided 900m, of frameless faceted glass balustrade to
create the Aqua Apartments sophisticated and sculptural style.
Celebrating their 21st year, founder Peter Weir is proudly celebrating
his business’ contribution to the Aqua Apartments.
According to Weir, one of the keys to the beauty of the Aqua building
is its seamless connectivity between city living and nature, particularly
the ocean, green spaces like Centennial Park and Sydney’s fabulous
clear blue skies. The frameless faceted glass balustrades enabled the
design and layout of the Aqua building to achieve that connection
from every balcony and every open space.
Aqua inhabitants will be able to see out across the spectacular, dynamic
city skyline and nature will be able to reach in through metre after metre
of glass, thanks to the handy work of Peter Weir and the Purge team.
While only a medium-sized project for Purge, the main challenge of
the Aqua project was custom-shaping all the stainless steel railings for
the balustrading.
Weir says the finished product speaks for itself in terms of the quality,
craftsmanship and the service Purge can deliver.
“Our difference is that we deliver personalised service,” says Weir.
“I own the business but I am also still working there on site, overseeing
all the work for every client.”
When Weir decided to branch out on his own, he had been working as
a boiler maker in the food industry.
“That’s where the name Purge came from,” he explains. “We were
working on pipes for the food industry and that’s what we did, purge
the pipes to ensure maximum hygiene. Then we branched out into
general building.”
Now Purge is a name sought after to supply major projects across New
South Wales and Weir said he was proud to make a major aesthetic and
design contribution to a landmark like the Aqua Apartments.
