Located in one of New York City鈥檚 most iconic districts, 135 West 50th Street has transformed into the ideal community-oriented bright, daylit, energy-efficient space.
When it came time to upgrade the midtown Manhattan office building, architect Gensler sought the perfect balance of clarity and energy efficiency and found it in Solarban庐 60 Starphire庐 glass by Vitro Architectural Glass.
Solarban庐 60 Starphire庐 glass combines the industry鈥檚 most transparent low-iron glass with a high-performance solar control low-e coating to produce a visible light transmittance (VLT) of 74 percent and a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.41 in a standard 1-inch IGU.
The combination provides exceptional daylighting and year-round comfort for occupants and visitors of 135 West 50th Street.
In addition to the transformed storefront and lobby, Solarban庐 60 Starphire庐 glass is also featured on the second-level amenity floor, which includes a social lounge, wellness area, and a full-height operable wall that opens to bring the office and community together.
