A modern Lowry Bay home showcases Supreme Balustrades’ expertise with UNEX solutions - Ascot framed balustrades, Siena glass balustrade used as pool fencing, Safa-Slat privacy screening, and Arena Points frameless balustrades internally - creating a seamless blend of elegance, functionality, and code compliance
Precision in Design, Privacy, and Safety
Set against picturesque waterfront views, this modern residence in Lowry Bay required balustrade solutions that were stylish, functional, and code-compliant. Supreme Balustrades, Wellington’s trusted UNEX authorised fabricator, led the project, combining multiple UNEX Systems Balusutrades to meet the homeowner’s aesthetic and practical requirements. The project demonstrates how thoughtful design and expert fabrication can enhance both safety and visual appeal.
The architecture presented a number of design challenges. The home required outdoor railings that complemented the modern design while providing secure boundaries, pool fencing that met New Zealand pool safety standards, privacy screening that offered discretion without blocking natural light, and internal stair and landing barriers that maintained a clean, minimalist look. Each system needed to integrate seamlessly across different surfaces and transitions, while fully complying with NZ Building Code requirements.
UNEX Balustrade and Fencing Solutions
Supreme Balustrades selected a combination of UNEX systems to address the home’s varied requirements. Around the pool, the Siena Framed Glass Balustrade was used as a compliant pool fence and fall barrier, providing safety without interrupting the uninterrupted waterfront views. The Ascot Framed Balustrade was installed in other exterior areas, adding robust structural support with a refined, modern appearance. For privacy screening and gate access, the Safa-Slat Balustrade provided effective coverage while maintaining clean lines. Inside the home, Arena Points Frameless Glass Balustrades were used on the internal stairs and landing, offering transparency and a contemporary feel while ensuring safety and durability.
