138 East 50th Street Mockup Tests Colors and Finishes
Quote:
Boston Valley Terra Cotta is providing the terra cotta panels for a unitized curtain wall on the new mixed-use tower underway at 138 East 50th Street in New York City. The 63-story tower designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects will house 4,588 square feet of retail space and 124 condominium units. The tower’s façade is composed of approximately 37,000 square feet of terra cotta units interspersed among large panes of glass. Permasteelisa Group has designed the curtain wall system wherein the terra cotta panels are staggered at angles to the flat plane of the glass to add visual interest.

Despite a rainy day, this mockup assisted the design team in making selections about color and finish.
The mockup was designed to be lifted by a crane so project team members could view it from a more realistic distance.
