Description
Situated among designated Landmark structures, this modern townhouse facade includes 1 ¼” steel plate, nominally fourteen feet wide and thirty-four feet tall and acts as the centerpiece of the front facade. Tucked behind the steel plate are high span steel windows with knife blade mullions and operable vents. The rear elevation incorporates large stainless steel bi-fold doors and high span steel window walls. Natural light is channeled into the building through a formed copper skylight assembly. Although the design of the facade is very modern, selection of materials blends with the surrounding historic neighborhood.
