Project Overview
The Two Manhattan West Podium is a landmark commercial office building located in New York City, designed to meet modern architectural standards while providing functional space for businesses. This project exemplifies W&W Glass's commitment to innovative glass solutions that enhance both aesthetics and performance.
With its striking design by the renowned architectural firm SOM, the Two Manhattan West Podium features a unique glass façade that not only serves as a visual centerpiece but also incorporates advanced materials for energy efficiency. The building's specifications highlight the use of low-iron laminated glass and custom structurally-glazed profiles, showcasing W&W Glass's expertise in high-quality installations.
Architectural Features
The architectural design of the Two Manhattan West Podium includes several standout features that set it apart from conventional office buildings. The integration of engaging profiles at the back of the glass and curved bent laminated corners contributes to its modern appearance while ensuring structural integrity.
Additionally, the building incorporates all-glass revolving and swing doors, which not only enhance the entrance's visual appeal but also provide seamless access. These features exemplify how W&W Glass utilizes cutting-edge technology and craftsmanship to create spaces that are both functional and visually stunning.
Materials Used
The materials selected for the Two Manhattan West Podium play a crucial role in its overall performance and aesthetic appeal. The project utilizes a 50-foot tall by 10-foot wide module, which is essential for achieving the expansive glass surfaces that define the building's exterior.
W&W Glass employed a cable tension wall system with concealed dead load shelves and wind load clamps to ensure stability and safety. The use of low-iron laminated glass not only enhances clarity but also minimizes the green tint commonly found in standard glass, allowing for a more transparent and vibrant appearance.
