Engineer's note

Tom Jeffcoat

Our bespoke structural solution successfully secured the complex arrangement of illuminated bezels and stars against wind loads, whilst prioritising a non-intrusive installation to protect the existing architecture.

Constraint

Existing conditions, technical interfaces and approval requirements.

MJC role

Structural Engineer

Output

Structural reports, calculations and coordinated design information.

Project summary

What the brief was — and what we delivered.

MJC delivered structural design and validation for Rolex's Old Bond Street Christmas installation, supporting suspended illuminated bezels and stars on a sensitive retail facade.

Non-intrusive fixing strategy

The installation required a bespoke hybrid support system formed from steel and aluminium tubes. To protect the architecture, MJC prioritised compression frames clamped to window reveals and columns rather than invasive drilling in sensitive areas.

Validation

Wind loading, weight distribution and secondary bracket performance were assessed to confirm that the illuminated decorations could be installed safely and securely.
