Hospitality · Renovation
All-glass lobby entry facade · VS1-G100 wall with clear spanning lower glass panels

The lobby renovation of this existing building used a cantilever VS1-G (glass fin) solution to achieve the modernization goals of the architect. Anchored to the ceiling, only structurally laminated, tempered glass fins provide lateral support for the entire facade. The lower glass panels are sized to clear span to the fin connections, eliminating framing at the vertical glass joints. The resulting facade solution allows unencumbered use of the interior floor space all the way to the inside surface of glass. Transparency is maximized.
