Project Description

A 504 Rough Cast channel glass facade envelopes the upper level of the Institute of Contemporary Art on three sides. The glass rainscreen is functional – in that it protects the building from harmful moisture damage – as well as being aesthetically pleasing. The glass is illuminated from the top, causing the entire upper level to glow at night, acting as a beacon over the harbor.
