SIGNATURE VS1 DETAILS
Historic Renovations
The VS1 system is ideally suited to respond to rehabilitation building programs. It accommodates as-built conditions and achieves high performing enclosures—all at excellent value.
Respectful renovation is a key strategy in the preservation and maintenance of historic landmarks. VS1 has been selected for several meaningful preservation projects, for example the Tenement Museum in NYC, which is a National Historic Site, the Lord & Taylor Building, which is a New York City Landmark, and the Richmond Main Street Station project, a National Historic Landmark.

Amazon Hank Wall Renovation
VS1 was selected for the renovation of a glass wall in the former Lord & Taylor building in NYC, which is now an Amazon tech campus. The original wall had horizontal members which are eliminated by VS1, and so the new solution speaks to the cutting edge technology available today resulting in a spectacular modern interpretation.

Richmond Main Street Station Renovation
A defining aspect of the Main Street Station VS1 renovation project was that the existing structure from 1901 was kept intact and utilized in the renovation. Using VS1, the curtain wall was designed around that structure, preserving the historic significance of the building while also accommodating significant lateral movement.
