A design competition for Metals in Construction Magazine. The project looks at the repositioning of an existing office building in New York City and improving views and daylight into the floorplate.

The team's approach here is the careful and surgical manipulation of the existing floorplates optimally to create "amenitized" levels throughout the building. This includes zoning the perimiter of the floors and creating porous levels of multi level connectivity for office users.

 

The newly designed Curtain Wall [Diurnal Lightbox] incorporates a "Saw Tooth" design that features Fiber Optic Panels in the Curtain Wall System. The angled facade panels allows for maximum exposure of sunlight as it tracks across the facade daily.
