Project Description
The new headquarters of Brotherhood Sister Sol (also known as BroSis), a prominent youth development organization based in upper Manhattan, boasts a dramatic facade featuring Bendheim’s channel glass. The facade expresses its mission to serve as a beacon for the community. The new BroSis center creates a sense of life and motion through its remarkable flaring design. Each elevation appears to fan outward, cantilevering over the elevations below. The selection of Bendheim’s channel glass helped make this striking result a reality.
The channel glass also allows natural light to pervade the interior without glare. In the building’s aptly named Light Room, floor-to-ceiling walls of the channel glass help create a calm and uplifting atmosphere.
