The curtain wall of the new building mainly consists of a unitized system with aluminum frame. The enclosure features flat units from level 2 to level 11 and curved on levels 12 and 13. From level 14 up to the top of the barrel vault, the façade system is constructed with a grid of curved aluminum mullions and transoms, pre-assembled on mega steel panels (20ft x 13ft), then installed onto the structural steel ribs on the roof.
The cap ends on the short fronts of the building feature flat units with a curved side to connect to the vault.
Worth to be mentioned are the zinc sheet spandrel units as perimetral cladding of the east staircase of the building, and the zinc rainscreen parapet on terrace at level 7.
Located on the waterfront of Domino Park in Williamsburg, this 1880s historic industrial building is returning to life as a modern office space. Designed by PAU, the barrel-vaulted glass structure integrates history, innovative engineering, and sustainability in a forward-thinking adaptive reuse project. In a unique approach to refurbishment, the architects nest a brand-new building within the existing envelope, with a 12-to-15-foot gap between the new and the old. By pulling back from the original walls, ideal and standardized floor heights can be achieved, creating best-in-class office space that is designed to meet the needs of new tenants.
A living landscape, featuring cascading vines, trees, and natural plantings, establishes a green ecosystem between the glass curtain wall and the brick masonry walls. This integration of the natural environment not only enhances views but also contributes to the health and well-being of building’s occupants.
Under the guidance of James Corner Field Operations, renowned for their remarkable transformation of the High Line, the landscaping aims at seamlessly reconnect the wide area surrounding Domino Sugar Refinery (known as Domino Park) with the neighbourhood to the waterfront and transform another abandoned site into a popular destination.
