MJ Consulting Engineers delivered the structural design and validation for the 2025 Christmas installation at Rolex, Old Bond Street, London. The project featured suspended illuminated fluted bezels and stars, requiring precision engineering to support large-scale festive elements.
We engineered a bespoke hybrid fixing strategy utilising a vertical lattice of steel and aluminium tubes. To protect the architecture, we prioritised non-intrusive methods, employing custom compression frames clamped securely to window reveals and columns. This approach eliminated the need for invasive drilling in sensitive areas while ensuring maximum stability.
Rigorous assessments of wind loads and weight distribution validated the integrity of the framework and secondary brackets supporting the CNC-machined decorations. The result is a robust, safe display that seamlessly integrates with the building's façade.
The work, in plate order.
