Project Description
Take Two Interactive’s 60,000 square foot office space features Bendheim’s Houdini™ textured glass throughout its collaborative work spaces. The micro-fluted low-iron glass design is light-diffusing and glare-reducing. It maximizes daylight, while completely blocking views, to balance the need for privacy and a sense of openness and occupant wellbeing. The linear glass design was also chosen to emphasize the verticality of the space.
The project features Houdini™ in 3/8” (10 mm) thickness, featuring an organic linear texture with a hint of rhythmic waviness that evokes the appearance of cascading water. Houdini glass, installed in movable conference room partitions, gathers light from the opposing glazed façade and filters it into the interior. Houdini is an award-winning privacy glass. Its unique surface texture completely obscures any vertical features behind the glass, as well as people and objects.
The popularity of workplace privacy is creating demand for textured glass walls and partitions that blend style and functionality. Bendheim’s textured glass collection is one of the most diverse in the architectural glass industry. Available in regular and low-iron (ultra-clear) glass, it creates new opportunities for dividing spaces, while maintaining daylight advantages. Customization options include lamination with a color or graphic interlayer; lamination with metal wires, textiles, and wood veneers; as well as lamination to another texture or an etched glass for added privacy.
