The construction of a new boutique hotel in the heart of New York City’s flower district was hampered by limited accessibility for deliveries and construction vehicles. The project’s small footprint and tight floor space also meant that receiving and staging materials had to be carefully coordinated. Walsh Glass & Metal worked closely with the general contractor to schedule deliveries as needed for each phase, ensuring there was always a safe productive work environment for all trades, as well as safe access for the public. The project involved integrating a Libart vertical retracting glass door and window system with a horizontal sloped skylight above. Walsh Glass & Metal collaborated with façade consultant AJLP to ensure all transitions between systems were seamless and watertight.
