The post The Standard Hotel appeared first on Ornamental Metal Institute of New York.

From a distance, One Northside Piers, a new luxury condo tower on the Williamsburg waterfront, might look a lot like other glass-and-aluminum-clad residential towers, but at closer look reveals a complex window wall system designed by FXFowle Architects. The unitized systems, consisting of two aluminum window and slab cover typologies, is a technique to break up the mass of the building, making it appear taller and thinner, as well as more visually intriguing.

When designing the Riverhouse condo project in Battery Park City, Polshek Partnership Architects had two main goals: maximize views of the Hudson River for occupants, and design the first LEED Platinum-rated building in New York City. The architects’ solution was to clad the building’s west elevation in a double glass curtain wall, increasing the envelope’s transparency for views and daylight, while simultaneously offering greater insulation values than those of punched-windowed neighbors. The panelized system saved money by expediting the construction process, and therefore met the approval of the developer and of the Battery Park City Authority, which traditionally requires a 60/40 glass/masonry ratio.
