Project Description
Two types of Bendheim channel glass were specified for this mixed-use redevelopment of Pier 57 on Manhattan’s West Side. On the ground floor, walls made of Bendheim’s Clarissimo channel glass allow expansive river views throughout the building’s lobby and restaurant areas. For office tenants on the second floor, channel glass walls with the translucent 504 Rough Cast texture let daylight fill the space while shielding the interior from glare. Low-e coatings on both types of channel glass provide protection from UV and infrared wavelengths.
Testimonials
From the Architect:
"As a new structure built on a historic building, we wanted the pavilion on the roof of the Pier to read as a light intervention, both in material selection and the language of design. The channel glass achieves this balance for us by acting as a diffuser of light and also in its industrial appearance–complimenting the nature of a historic shipping pier. The channel glass allowed us to have a cohesive design by providing the flexibility between translucent and transparent finishes." — Jessica Levine, Senior Associate, Handel Architects
