EXTERIOR DETAIL Bendheim's team was able to supply a system incorporating approximately 24,000-square-feet of ¾-inch specialty tempered-and-laminated decorative glass in various designs, as well as dozens of custom metal elements, within the specified budget. On the north and south sides of the structure, the approximately 3-feet-by-10-feet glass panels are vertically oriented and offset, creating a staggered appearance that evokes a glass curtain wall. The translucent white laminated glass features two levels of opacity. More transparent white glass in the foreground, combined with denser white panels in the background, enhance the sense of depth and create a "fade" effect. Throughout the day, the glass facade transforms with the changing sunlight and reflections. 44 contractdesign.com SEPTEMBER 2019http://www.contractdesign.com
