Twin Houses

The "Twin Houses" foresaw the construction of two side-by-side Villas, developed in 2 floors above ground level and an annex located on the side of the main building. This project also includes generous areas for green spaces, outdoor living areas and a swimming pool. PACHECOSANTOS | Arquitectos It is a project with a high level of rigor, also due to the challenge we set ourselves: to present two houses that, in a first analysis would be the same, but somehow, also acquire distinct personalities, even if through small details. PACHECOSANTOS | Arquitectos We tried, with the choice of materials (light tones and wood), spatial organization and an apparent simple volumetry to generate a game between light and shadow, that associated...

The Spirit of Palatium

Glass art installation represents the outline of the relics of the Palatium of Mieszko I and his wife Dobrawa in Ostrów Tumski in Poznań, the first Piast dynasty building dating back over 1000 years. ARCHIGLASS by Urbanowicz The genesis of the project goes back to 1999, when a team of archaeologists led by prof. Hanna Kóčki-Krenz from the University of Adam Mickiewicz made an extraordinary discovery of the relics of the palatium right next to the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The concept of showing the outlines of the building in glass was born among archeologists in the Archeological Reserve Genius loci. The architectural project of raising the outline structure about 60 cm above the floor in the form of a wall was... More

Ventilated Glass Facade Systems

Bendheim's Ventilated Glass Facade Systems protect structures and/or occupants from wind-driven rain, snow, and ice, while maintaining natural ventilation and daylight advantages, where applicable. Ideal for non-conditioned spaces, including stadiums, transit stations, building crowns, exterior stairwells & elevator towers, pedestrian bridges, aboveground parking facilities, and more. A thoughtfully designed ventilated / secondary glass facade can also become a budget-smart way to create an extremely complex exterior geometry, achieving slopes, dramatic angles, and curves not easily constructible with your primary walls.

Bendheim's Ventilated Glass Parking Facades comprise a range of fully customizable systems that can be specified with decorative flat glass or 3D / U-shaped channel glass. The functional, jewel-like glass facades instantly elevate the design of above-ground parking structures. By eliminating the need for mechanical ventilation and preserving daylighting, they also lower operational energy usage. From energy savings, to the ability to eliminate carbon-heavy steel sub-structures, to bird-friendly glass options, these parking facades are a sustainable choice. More

Projectable Glass Rainscreens

Bendheim's projectable glass rainscreen system doubles as a virtually shadow-free, building-scale projection screen, while also meeting budgetary and installation targets. The system consists of pattern-imprinted Lumi Frit glass panels, clipped into adjustable metal fittings, which are embedded directly into the building’s structural walls, columns, or floors. It is fully adjustable in multiple directions, speeding installation and allowing contractors to order the glass from the approved drawings, rather than precise field measurements. On projects, this built-in flexibility can expedite the construction schedule by months. More

CRAFT LAMPS FOR THE RESTAURANT

NON  is a modern restaurant of Uzbek cuisine in Kharkiv, Ukraine.  Cotton is one of the historical symbols of Uzbekistan. That’s why we used it as a part of the design for individual pendant and table lamps, which have become a strong focus of the interior.  Lamps are hand-made with individual designs.  Cotton and glass are very tactile natural materials with diametrically different properties. We placed the cotton twigs in glass bulbs and integrated light into these bulbs. The softness and lightness of cotton create a harmonic contrast with transparent, hard, and smooth glass.  Each glass bulb has a unique shape and relief. The luminaire structure is made of craft glass and brass.  The shape of glass fla... More

LC Privacy Glass: Conference Room

LC Privacy Glass was used to create this state-of-the-art conference room for a prominent Construction Management company in Woodbury, NY. The door and surrounding glass walls, when transparent, allow a full view of the beautiful reception area and mural, and then can become fully private when needed with the flip of a switch. Our patented PowerTrack allows the conference room door to slide open with no visible wires. The front wall can be used as a white board, or instantly transforms into a rear projection screen for impressive, eye-catching presentations. This project was installed by C&L Aluminum using the CRL 702 Series framing system. More

Invisio Structural Glazing

The first fully thermally broken structural glazing system, Invisio, has been designed in house to offer architects unrivalled possibilities with flexible glazing design. The  thermally broken fixings are designed to be hidden by the building finishes and multiple glass units can be silicone jointed together for a frameless design.    Invisio can reach large sizes and accomodate triple glazed units simply by using a deeper profile. The flexible nature of architectural glazing means the system can be used for a wide variety of applications including structural glass roofs, frameless glass walls, glass balustrades and much more.  Caption Caption   Caption More

Technology Synergy

This daring project seeks to revive an abandoned building in the center of Bucharest and transform it into a sustainable and eccentric urban footprint. The architects propose an office building characterized by transparent surfaces merging with natural elements such as a rich vegetation, spreading over the built spaces. The atrium of the building is emphasized by a fully glazed surface, a reinforced glass façade that reveals the inner layout of the design. The playful concept focuses on open spaces interrupted by thin lines of glass and metal.  The atrium found on the ground level extends the passerby’s view and offers spectacular lines and colors. The working spaces are thought as suspended units, floating on pillars above the gr... More

CM HOUSE

Inserted in a rural context next to a running water brook, the house has as an ordering and generating project element the preexisting stone wall confining with the public street. The idea is to extend this wall and integrate it into the design of the house. The material is changed from stone to cork, differentiating the intervention of the pre-existence.  Assuming the wall as an opaque element simultaneously interior and exterior that ensures privacy in relation to the road, the house closes to the north and becomes transparent in the south opposite side to the “private” part of the terrain.  Here, the house lies on a platform that rests above the ground. This separation act contrasts with the creation of patios and the use of ge... More

Museum at Prairiefire

As the signature building of a new 60-acre suburban live-work-play development, the Museum at Prairiefire was designed as a civic hub featuring world-class traveling exhibits from the American Museum of Natural History. By engaging the local population in broader cultural and scientific experiences, while architecturally celebrating the rich story of the region, the Museum grounds it within a larger context and helps forge an identity for the community. Through the use of color and sculptural forms, the design boldly contrasts with the surroundings, but touches the sensibilities of the locality by orchestrating distinctive materials, shapes and technologies to produce a new and provocative regionalism.The design concept evokes the...
