slumped glass façade for a VIP showroom

seele was commissioned for another project on 5th Avenue in New York and can thus count a ninth project on the famous street among its references. For the Tiffany & Co. Flagship Store, a new VIP showroom was built on floors 8 through 10, for which various façade constructions are used. The highlight of the store is the unitised façade on the 10th floor. The architects designed a glass box with the appearance of a curved curtain, created by wavy glass units. The 500sqm glass façade with elements measuring up to 8.80 x 2.45m stretches along the north and west sides.

  • Above and below, the elements are equipped with completely closed spandrel areas to create a visually uniform surface in the ceiling areas. On the east side, where the façade is not directly facing the street, an aluminium cladding was realised, while on the south side the building is directly connected to the Trump Tower.

    On the 8th and 9th floor, there is a balcony with a stick system façade of aluminium profiles and glass panes up to 3.50 x 2.13m in size. Furthermore, various door systems are integrated into the façade.
