Project Description
Renovations at the MetLife Building in New York City saw the addition of Bendheim’s channel glass for a new back-lit podium above the building’s ground floor. Displaying the name of the building above the main entrance, the expansive channel glass wall spans the entire length of the podium without visually-disruptive vertical framing, allowing for a uniform appearance when either lit or un-lit.
Testimonials
From the Architect
The team at Bendheim was a great resource both on the design and technical side with excellent information on system installation and tolerances, glass options and availability, and integration of lighting elements with necessary supporting members. Their development of support systems that were pre-engineered allowed for a streamlined integration into the design process with confirmation of glass and lighting selection through full-size mockups. — Mike Zaborski, Principal at MdeAS Architects
