 Architect: Costas Kondylis and Partners LLP “When you are building a 45-story, luxury high-rise in the city that never sleeps, you need to work with partners. Partners that are best-in-class with the ability to bring more to the table than just manufacture products. Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope™ is adding value by improving the way the building envelope is closed,” states building owner Joseph Moinian. “Each Atelier residence features dramatic windows. And the windows on a luxury high-rise are like components on a fine automobile. When you touch and operate them, you make a determination about the overall quality of the building. We reviewed many mock-ups and were very satisfied with Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope™’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship,” comments Costas Kondylis, Design Architect. Israel Berger, the curtain wall consultant says, “The glass selection on a project is a critical decision and merits significant attention. A lot can go wrong with a poor choice. Sometimes to achieve the aesthetic you desire, performance can suffer and vice versa. Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope™ met our aesthetic, performance and logistical needs perfectly, without sacrificing any one of them." Construction Manager Frank Ross Jr. explains, “On a project like Atelier in midtown Manhattan, if the construction schedule gets interrupted by suppliers not delivering on-time, there is a ripple-effect that could delay the building’s opening. With over 70 nationwide manufacturing locations, Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope™ delivered all of the products we needed precisely when and where we needed them.”
Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope™ custom-engineered and manufactured more than 173,000 sq. ft. of architectural windows for Atelier. Each of the windows was mocked-up and tested, then inserted into a customized receptor system. High-performance, hinged and glazed terrace doors were custom-engineered and manufactured by Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope™ for Atelier. High-performance thermal breaks align with a custom center-seal, creating a frost-resistant chamber during cold weather. All insulating glass units on Atelier were custom-manufactured by Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope™ and are comprised of solar control low-e glass. The neutral, high-performance low-e glass combines a pleasing, neutral-colored appearance with exceptional solar energy control.
