Project Description
A newly expanded gate concourse at the Denver International Airport features Bendheim’s Wall-F glass rainscreen system in a new role: as a strikingly simple elevator enclosure. The Concourse C East expansion employed a spare, minimalist aesthetic designed to maximize focus on dramatic views of the runways. In order to limit visual obstruction, the architects sought to create a clear glass elevator shaft with the bare minimum of visible hardware. Bendheim’s Wall-F compression glass fittings, originally designed for exterior rainscreen applications, allowed them to achieve their goal.
Testimonials
From the Architect:
Our design intent was to maximize transparency for the elevator hoistway... We liked the clean aesthetic of the Bendheim clip system and felt it was more transparent than the typical pin supported system. — Bryan Smith, Senior Design Architect at Jacobs
