Purdy’s Train Station

Originally constructed in the mid-19th century, Purdy’s Station serves generations of commuters traveling throughout Hudson Valley and into New York City. Recent improvements include elevators and walkways linking the parking areas, Route 116 overpass and station entrance. Bendheim’s glass rainscreen system encloses the new elevator from the overpass to the parking area, helping create a minimally intrusive barrier that maintains clear sightlines while allowing natural light to pass through, preserving views of the surrounding farmland and forested terrain. The project demonstrates how a thoughtfully engineered rainscreen system can turn everyday infrastructure into a functional, visually cohesive solution.
