This multi-faceted project involved a floor slab to floor slab unitized curtain wall system, storefront stick curtain wall system, glass railing system, metal panels, a louver blade system to hide mechanical equipment, skylight and sun shade systems for the pool with NanaWall sliding doors providing access, and all glass entrance doors. Walsh Glass & Metal overcame significant logistical challenges by designing a needle beam to load material from the courtyard to the multiple floor levels with varying elevations, and creatively solving installation problems inherent in the design of the metal panels. Further complications arose with the departure of the general contractor and the architect partway through the project. Walsh Metal & Glass stepped up, working directly with the property owner to help resolve trade issues and ensure Walsh’s work could stay on schedule.
