Escapade Silverstone is a luxury hospitality development, offering motorsports enthusiasts a front-row seat to the action at the world-famous Silverstone Circuit. The development accommodates 60 high-spec residences and a state-of-the-art Clubhouse, each offering breathtaking views of the track.

Situated on the edge of the circuit, the site overlooks a stretch of Silverstone’s most exhilarating corners. Copse, Maggots and Becketts. The bespoke development seamlessly integrates the high-octane energy of the track, with the natural scenery of the surrounding countryside, creating a one-of-a-kind lifestyle experience.

The Clubhouse redefines race-day hospitality, offering panoramic views from one of Silverstone’s most iconic corners. The Clubhouse restaurant not only offers a luxury dining experience, but also features floor-to-ceiling glazing, carefully angled to optimise views to the track, uninterrupted by glare. On the top floor, the roof terrace offers ultimate long-distance views across the entire Silverstone estate. The Clubhouse also offers a multitude of other amenities to enjoy, including a swimming pool, driver-focused gym, treatment rooms, track-briefing area, concierge, restaurant, bar and a roof terrace.

To meet the design intent of the Clubhouse glazing, Glass & General approached OnLevel to deliver a 3.0kN side-fixed balustrade solution for glass heights below the standard 1100mm from finished floor level. While our TL-6021 profile, supported by general calculations, typically achieves up to 1.50kN using 21.52mm laminated glass with a Sentry interlayer, the reduced glass height presented an opportunity to unlock greater performance from the same system.

Working in close collaboration with Ted Singleton Associates – a trusted engineering partner we have worked with for many years and who is highly familiar with OnLevel systems – we developed a project-specific structural calculation. This assessment demonstrated that the existing profile and glass specification, when combined with the bespoke project fixing detail, could safely withstand loadings of 3.0kN at a reduced glass height of 861mm.

The result is a robust yet elegant balustrade solution that maintains uninterrupted views while exceeding performance expectations. This project is a testament to the inherent strength and versatility of OnLevel systems, with the fully engineered solution now installed and performing flawlessly at the Escapade Silverstone Clubhouse.
