Through a valued collaboration with the design team, the VS1 system was customized to create a 10 story dual glass wall envelope with a 10 ft mullion spacing on the main facade transitioning to a lobby wall which wraps around the building. The level of transparency achieved by the use of tapered horizontal armatures bolted to the mullions at the horizontal glass joints is unprecedented in the world for a cavity wall solution. The dual wall is vented with VS1 motorized operable windows tied to a building control system.
