Project Description

Bendheim’s proprietary low-iron etched mirror clads the exterior entrance and multi-story lobby of this light-filled commercial building. It softly reflects its surroundings – from the young greenery to the ever changing streetscape – constantly altering the appearance of the facade as sun travels across the sky and pedestrians and vehicles move before it. The subtle reflectivity creates a play of color and light, enlivening the glass-clad walls with a sense of motion and visual diversity. The proprietary Bendheim mirror is unique in its ability to clad the exterior of the building, withstanding exposure to weather and moisture. The luminous glass continues into the interior, where it gently diffuses reflected light throughout the lobby. Its satin-smooth etched surfaces are non-porous and maintenance-friendly, gracefully welcoming heavy daily use.
